Some new bits at Stanage and Curbar, from earlier in the year. They’re mostly lowballs as i climbed them whilst not able to fall off, due to rehabbing a hip replacement.
Nothing amazing but they add a bit of circuit volume, although Bulldogger is the pick of the bunch and a pretty good problem.
Stanage High Neb
Low (N)eb 7a
The low roof directly under fallen archangel
Lie down start (always a sign of quality) matched in the cool juggy hueco. Pull round the lip and up the grooved arête above.
Fallen Further 6b
The small arête with parallel crack, directly under High Neb Buttress, from a sit start. The slabby side of this boulder is also nice.
Stanage, behind the Cowperstone
Ride em cowboy 6b
Tiny prow/fin behind and left of savage me softly, in a stack of three boulders. The flat right hand boulder is out but the plinth is in. Ride the fin to victory. Pretty morpho I think.
Bulldogger 7a
Sit start in the jug rail on the left side of the Savage Me Softly crack but immediately swing left round the arête and work up the sloping breaks in the higher wall to the top.
Ferret’s Stetson 7a
Sit Start matched in the break immediately right of savage me softly, and work up the bulges to the crimp rail on the slab. Almost close enough to be an easier sequence on SMS for most Boulderers, but a cool sequence nonetheless.
Bronco 7b+
Sit start right again, with both hands at the lip. Work up and left through the bulges to the crimp rail on the slab
Curbar loafstone Area
All filler no killer 7a
The tiny prow on the back of the not a Jerry traverse block. Starting left hand in the shot hole and right hand on the slopey crimp at the same level.
I also did a couple of easy bits on the Boulder that is passed shortly before reaching the loafstone, but I can’t remember the details.
