Off to CWIF on the weekend (punters session, obviously) and we are stopping at Robin Hood Stride and Cratcliffe tomorrow for a spot of falling off gritstone.

Can anyone in the know give me a clue as to what the local classics are? Any grade up to high 7's, I want to get a few nice problems climbed since I wont likely be back for a while.

Thank you in advance!

The obvious ones of the top of my head -

Dry Wit In A Wet Country 7A nice highball slab left of Kaluza Klein
Grizzly Arete 6C with the crimp out right these days? Originally guppied at 7A
Cave Problem 7A
Jerry's Arete 7A I thought the low start was worthwhile too, a bit of extra pump for the top moves.
Big Al Quida 7B Great knacky problem, a must do if dry. A few pads useful to flatten out landing
Ben's Wall 7C Soft if you're tall

Razor Roof 6C Lovely. The 7A+ to right is said to be good but it's a skin trasher
The Egg 6A Very gritstone, slabby arete.
T-Crack 7B & Jerry's Traverse (often has a line of runoff/seepage) 7B Powerful indoor style problems

Braindead 6B the arete of the block hidden below Suicide Wall is well worth doing.

thats great, much appreciated! I hadnt got much further than the classic 2 7B's and the egg, but I will definitely check these out

To add to the others:


Slab on the face round the corner for Ben's Wall is a good if short-lived 7a (just don't start it off a stakced pad)
The straight up through Jerry's Traverse is a good, seem to recall it's 6c

Chapel of rest and wish are worth it if you get through everything else!

cheers all, was a great trip and made the most of the dry bits of rock floating around. Highlights were definitely getting up the egg (best 6 on grit) and flashing Jerry's Trav for my first 7B flash
