Opium in Font also, by the looks of it anyway.

Wonderland (8A) Priest's Cove: tried this a little bit and I think the crux sequence might be quite a stretch for shorties. On that note, Dan, I hear you've done this...did you find it a bit of a stretch?
.

Yeah it’s a big move but you have got a big heel. I also did a direct sit which is really cool. Great block, ace location. Tad sharp. I have a video, will post it up sometime!!

[36chambers]

As a fellow lank, I would say that the majority of moves are slightly harder easier for lanks, but some are massively easier.

FTFY

[Andy F]

Lets be honest. If you're tall then you're not climbing, you're just lanking. Climbing is the thing people who are of shorter stature do...

[Duma]

Re the tintagel vid, Lewis is the most ridiculously lanky person I've ever climbed with.

[Ru]

Peak/Yorkshire stuff. Don't know if these things are easier for the tall or just hard for the short.

given the time it takes you to get here (Peak) Yossa, it would be good to have a few backup plans for if things don't work out (weather, skin, time etc) - worth getting a few lists for different circumstances

a few of my ideas for contingency plans/lists (others will have more to add to these)

fast drying projects are useful - eg. Hampers Hang - easy to work due to being a traverse and a short walk in. Conan The Librarian, the best mid 6 in The Peak dries quick and makes you feel like a proper climber

very short walk ins sometimes needed to fill in at the end of a day or after plans go wrong - anything at Bbg West. but probably West Side Story and The Nose for your ticks. Banana Finger Direct at Bbg N suits the taller humans (Steve McC said he found it hard). The Curbar Block and Gorilla Warfare pit (Early Doors would be my recommendation)

stuff that is in nick when other stuff might not be - eg. the Remergence variations / Blind Date stuff; this place has the benefit of flat landing, short walk in and a few things in your range

stuff that is super safe to work on your own - eg. a few things at Secret Garden - Beach Ball, the traverse

stuff that doesn't use power, skin, fingers - eg. Deliverance traverse

oh, and improve your chances of remembering your hard earned beta by videoing it

possibly worth considering somewhere as a warm up routine - locals use the 20ft Crack area of Bbg N and Bbg Bridge  - it helps to have somewhere where you know the moves to get yourself ready for the day - if it's a new area for you, do the easiest problems over and over until you feel the force

[Will Hunt]

What about Marks Roof at Gardoms? Ticks all those boxes, is the right grade, not going to be harder for the tall and stands to be much easier if you've a massive span.

and you can work the crux from standing

I'd be careful on Marks Roof LH - the finishing flake feels like it has a bit of movement that might not tolerate a larger athlete

Useful list of things i shouldn't bother trying, ta!

[36chambers]

If you ever find yourself at Brimham there are plenty of good problems which shouldn't punish you for being tall. Off the top of my head:

Crimpy Roof 7b
To Me To You 7c/+
The Grouch 7a/b
Ponce 7b
Pinky traverse flake finish 7b
Mike’s Problem 7b
Titfield thunderbolt 7a+/b
Successor State 7a
Longbow 6/7
Murky Rib ~6b
Jim's Problem 7c/+
Pommel 6c+
Benchmark 7b

[Bradders]

Brimham

A good list. I'd add:

The Prize - amazing highball, with some scrittle for added spice.
Belly Porker's Progress - bizarrely neglected yet absolutely superb and on some of the very best rock Brimham has to offer.

[Will Hunt]

 

TRIGGERED!

36 "Take the Grade" C with some absolute shockers there. The Grouch is 6C, Successor State highball 6B+, Longbow is 6B+. Great problems but if you came up from London wanting a challenge you'd be disappointed.

[teestub]

Will again proving, despite all protestations, that he is in fact a lanky fuck

Will again proving, despite all protestations, that he is in fact a lanky fuck 

Will is an entire hand lankier than me (at least this, he was doing his best to slouch). Whilst I can only lightly foreplay the good holds on Brass Monkeys, Will can grab them by the p***y. Fortunately his core is terrible so no send for either of us.

Other problems that come to mind that are easier for Will:

- The Drey 7B+/7C
- Two Squirrels 7B+/7C
- JuJu Club 7B+
- Stretch Armstrong 7B+/7C
- Pistol Whip 7B
- Who Are We Without Moon 7A+

[Will Hunt]

Shocking set of recommendations (and pure fiction about this "extra hand" that I'm supposed to have - refer again to Ben's belief that anybody with even slightly more reach than him is capable of legendary feats of reach) from Ben there.

The Drey and Two Squirrels are kind of arse scraping traverses where a gangler might conceivably have trouble with dabbing?
JuJu Club is good but I can't see it being noticeably harder for the short, it's just a normal problem.
Pistol Whip - fits the bill but isn't a three star problem and not good for a visitor since you need a tonne of pads to get on it safely.
Who Are We Without Moon - fab problem, but would you forgive anybody who'd recommended that you travel for hours on end from the south coast to get to Baildon? Also, not especially easy for the tall. Just a pop, the type of move at which Ben is terrible.

You're such a wet leaf.

There's no mention of what grades I "took", or my personal grades in my post, just the general (and somewhat vague) consensus. Not everyone talks in self-righteous absolutes.

[36chambers]

JuJu Club is good but I can't see it being noticeably harder for the short, it's just a normal problem.

This explains a lot. You're clearly lacking in morphological-empathy (for lack of a better word) if you can't appreciate why JuJu might be nails for someone that's not your size

[ferret]

3/4 of the problems on grit or in font probably fall into the easier for the tall but not a grade easier category. Just pick the best problems or the ones that appeal to you. No list required.

Pistol Whip - fits the bill but isn't a three star problem and not good for a visitor since you need a tonne of pads to get on it safely.

JuJu Club is fucking desperate for the slightly shorter of stature.

And whilst I am yet to tick Pistol Whip, from what I've tried its definitely a three star problem. Gritstone magic! You do need a lot of pads though.

Ah cool Dan. Very floaty. Must have a go at your heel under hand (rather than over) method.

[Yossarian]

This is all totally awesome - many thanks to all contributors.

The Churnet guide arrived today and will have a proper look over the weekend.

The Brimham recommendations (ta 36chambers) have reminded me I need to try to get back there soon...

[lagerstarfish]

I might be a Peak regular, but, if I was was travelling, I'd be looking at Almscliffe and Brimham for an alternative
