Is that the steep bulge next to (I think) Zebra Buttress? There is (or was) a 7A and a 7B on it.

Hard to tell from the crap photos, but I don't think so. It's certainly not Flow On/Zebra Prow, if that's what you mean.

I think that's what I meant - didn't know those problems had names. From the top photo, it's somewhere in that area as it's in the pinnacles area between the car park and Castle Rock. I've rarely climbed round there as a lot of the rock is a bit "biscuity".

What is weaselling?

[SA Chris]

Like ferreting isn't it?

What is weaselling?

Pissing about. Finding ways onto the tops of the rocks, squeezing through the gaps between them etc etc. Basically what you'd expect any child to do when confronted with Brimham Rocks.

Indeed. Somewhere there is a black and white picture, probably taken in the late 60s, of my brother doing exactly this. Though I grew up near Bristol, my grandparents lived in Harrogate and Brimham was our occasional playground during visits.

Or indeed most climbers, especially while trying to find their intended route / bloc

Just around the corner from Kangaroo Wall but fortunately no routes or problems hit.
