West side and Blind date are both still 7a - the boundary corresponds pretty closely to the font 7b+ grade. Both of these are considered fairly hard for the grade, so definitely qualify.
Whereabouts is Pathcy at Hobby Moor ??
ah grading again, how nice. running hill pits-scoop de path 7aroaches-who needs ready path 7ahobson moor-pathcy 97 7athese 3 within easy reach of madchester, unfortunately all crimpy. not sure i know any slopey ones
"andy harris - A couple of points: Most grit routes graded English 7a don't really have proper 7a moves, even the bouldery ones (blind date, west side, partheon etc) are only 6c "
Blind date and WSS are 7a sequences - if you came across them on a route you'd have no fuckin chance. The likes of the Ace and Superman are solid 7b.
TTMM has got to be one of the least inspiring problems in butbage though!
