Not too long. A combination of googling for a grid ref, puttting grid ref into multimap and then matching with image on Google Earth worked for the crags I was not familiar with. Unfortunately a fairly limited area is covered in fine detail so the choice of crags was smallish.

Ahhh clever.. if you can find Brookside buttress from space perhaps you should work for the CIA and their targeting of farmhouses on the Pakistan/Afgahnistan border might improve somewhat ??

perhaps a non-grit quiz for more of a challenge?

I doubt you'd find that many non grit crags covered in sufficient detail.

Souther Sandstone? Not that anyone would want to know them tht well.

Dartmoor maybe, but I suspect few know it well enough.

How would a font one look bonj? Or are the boulders too non-descript and hidden by trees?

Are you mad? From the air, it all looks the same! You'd have to go off the roads...
