Around 15 problems up to ~7A on the edge above Blindside Lane (near Dale Dike reservoir). I expect the majority are new as they needed a good amount of cleaning / gardening, but some of the easier things might have been done before?I had fun here. Maybe others can too.A few pictures:Call My Agent!, 7A?Start sitting on the right, follow the lip to top out on the left.Right to left traverse of the roof, 6C?The roof has maybe 5 problems in it. Was planning on putting together a little topo. Any retroclaims welcome before I do.
Nice one. They look good. Had a look up there recently. Did you do anything on a buttress quite a bit of way along over the wall in your second pic?
This is the crag mentioned previously on UKB as Torr Edge, home of The Hmm Prow E4 6b - FA Johnny Brown.What were the things through the roof like? I remember looking at that feature but didn't get round to climbing on it.

No idea if any of them are what you mean!

No idea if any of them are what you mean!Think it is the central crack wall. Thought it was the best looking bit on offer along there. Didn't climb owt so no retro claims from me!

I remember looking at that feature but didn't get round to climbing on it.I can't find any mention of Torr Edge? Your post reporting the prow just says Tor Quarry? Also couldn't find a name of the edge on any maps, but did find a photo on geograph.org.uk calling it "Blindside Rocks" so I've gone with that. The roof is decent, though small. You can start low in the middle and traverse to the left arete and up which is the hardest of the current offerings, maybe 6C+ (??), and has some interesting moves. Maybe possible to extend by starting low on the right, not sure how dabby! For real classic status could link into the reverse traverse of the lip.
Thanks! My partner's recovering from a knee injury so some of these look perfect for us to enjoy a session together.
I did the easier ones in area 2 and all of area 3 plus some eliminates a couple of years ago.I'll share thoughts on grades and some pics tomorrow night.I had the impression it was banned/I was unwelcome. What did you think?
Went here today - it really is a lovely spot. Thanks very much for the topo Ed. It made everything easy to find. I did a few things but hadn't seen your pic of Call my Agent finishing using the left wall so I mistakenly finished up the top of the block using my right heel on the lip. Maybe it could be the mistaken FA of a different finish ?I'll link to a video taken too far away but you can get the idea.
