Google earth quiz.
January 12, 2006, 03:41:55 pm
Hear ye, hear ye, it's the Google Earth crag quiz. Object being to name the crag, buttress or boulder. All are Peak or Yorkshire Grit. Using the co-ordinates to search is definitely cheating, ok!
 All images are orientated so that up is north.

1. An easy starter for you. Name the boulder.


2. Name the quarry. Fairly easy.

 
3. Name the boulder. Moderately tricky.


4. Name the boulder. Pretty piss.

 
5. Name the crag. Medium.


6. Name the crag. This is part of a 3D area, hence the distortion. Not too hard.


7. Name the bouldering venue and extra point for naming the big block. Medium.


8. Name the boulders. Easy


9. Name the crag and buttress. Piss


10. Name the boulder. Hard.


11. Name the boulder. Easy.


12. Name the bouldering venue. Extremely hard!

My first thought was moorside rocks, but I don't think track the track fits, and  there doesn't seem to be a jackaloupe

I think the fact that the grid reference is printed on the pics rather gives them all away.
