BTW - I'm in no way trying to ram 27Crags through as "the default" I just pine for some kind of open community based thing where we own our own data, but have access to tools (topo making, databases) that makes life easier.I'd happily go out and spend time documenting stuff for free. P.S. You can print 27Crags etc. just like a PDF for your analogue tactile paper types....

I'd be careful what you wish for! Peakbouldering.info has gone down with little prospect of reappearing it would seem. Therefore all the information that users added to it in good faith, often only recorded there, is potentially lost permanently(as also happened with the similar yorkshiregrit site some year back). This includes details of things that even the folk who wrote it no longer remember.Is none of that available from the wayback machine?

I think that it is very easy to underestimate the amount of work and costs that goes in to the back-end of a database driven site for sharing info.
I reckon The Dragon's Eye is Always Watching on Ben Vane in Arrochar is definitely worth a shout. There's also a project (well, it's still a project as far as I know) on the side of Ben Narnain facing The Cobbler that is a future classic at something like 7C+. Can give more details if anyone is interested.
I think Andy's right that the Morar Monster could fit in - it would give Lochaber a bit of a broader spread.
Interesting Ted, i thought you weren't that enamoured with Neg Prog.As for Reptile...that question opens up another can of worms, If a problem has only seen 1 or 2 repeats does it deserve 3 stars or a place on the list? If you believe that problems need many repeats to get a rounded appraisal on its grade and quality then you automatically remove many of the current problems on the list. Screapadal Prow on Raasay is a perfect example of this, i think it has seen maybe 1 repeat but Dave swears it is one of the best boulders of its type anywhere in the UK.{ or do we just trust Dave cause its Dave? }Not sure what the best approach on this is but i have certainly Not put any of mine forward as they have seen few or No repeats and i fear my in built bias for certain styles or lines would end badly.Be interested to see folks thoughts on this

This is such a good list, can't help but get involved! Interesting that Malky made it, great move but personally would think Mestizo SS, Consolidated, The Shield or even Nice and Sleazy (part malky whoops) would all nip in before.I actually stick a vote back on Negative Progression for Rooftown, thought it was well good. Has Reptile had a repeat yet?
