Or could No 6 be Bell Hagg's burglar buttress? Though I'm surprised you can't read that the KLF woz ere.

Ok then some clues.

1. Just right of the exposed butress is a smaller concealled buttress which is more likely to familiar to the well travelled boulderer.
5. Is that a wall?
11. This image is now out of date (sadly).

Ah, its a wall not a quarried face. Now I recognise the grassy bank on which I have sunbathed - No 5 is Carl's Wark

No 5. is Carl's Wark. The wall being the remains of the old roman fortification.

And Dave's "stab-in-the-dark" is right too, No 11. is Craig-y-Longridge.

Clue given regarding No 1:
 There's a clue in the caption "Name the woodland buttress. "
 It has a neighbouring buttress hidden in the trees to it's right, which should be more well known to the well travelled boulderer.
 It's in the area covered by the new Burbage guide.

 Also worth noting, the clear area on the left is a stream.

After extensive multimap study I've come up with....    ....  a stab in the dark

1)  (is the hidden one) Cool Runnings buttress, Rivelin?  The one you can see is the bit with the Diff and HVS etc. on

 That's the one Paz. Good work!
 12. Birch Buttress - Rivelin

 That'll have to be it for Google Eartheggs now, until some new areas get covered in detail anyway.
