7c+ ....it's a shit grade that no one bothers with.

But 5.13 is the coolest grade ever!

5.13b is the coolest grade ever  ;)

I very much doubt the best anything is on Yorkshire Limestone. Unless it's the best "something on Yorkshire Limestone".

I've never tried it but my impression is that it's widely accepted as being very good. The Lefthand finish is also supposed to be brilliant at 7c.
I guess you'll have climbed some of the other routes there? Mactalla is up there among the better 7bs in the country (note that I'm trying not to use too much hyperbole!)

Somehow, no, never climbed there! Glasgow based, but got more spare time this year. Well keen now.

If you get the chance it's well worth a visit. Plenty of good routes and a really nice location. Best sport crag in the NW if you're climbing in the 7s. Probably.

Best at being Yorkshire-centric bunch of climbers on the internet.

I take the Prow at Goat is pretty good? I'm looking for a project...

I'd like a pop on some version of the Prow sometime too. It can be a bit of a brackeny sweat trap there in summer, but if you're looking for a partner give me a shout.
