OK, though I have only bouldered a bit in the Peak, Yorks and Cornwall, should we have a UK graded list? Say 10 classics from each grade?

I will kick it off, though I am shit with the grades so soz if they are well out.

Ones I have done;

Strawberries - Curbar - V4 (???)
Banana Finger - Burbage North - V3
The Crease - Crookrise - V2 (???)
Crescent Arete - Stanage - V2
Morrell's Wall - Almscliff - V2

Then some other ones I would like to do;

Nicotine Stain - Burbage North - V5?
Not To Be Taken Away - V3 (?)
Bob's Bastard - Caley - V2
Jaon's Undercling - Burbage North - V7(?)
Demon Roof - Almscliff - V7
West Side Story - Burbage West - V8
Gorilla Warfare - Curbar - V6
Weedkiller - Raven Tor - V6
Sulky Little Boys - Slipstones - V8??
T-Crack - Cratcliff - V7
Boba Fett - Roaches - V8
Pebble Wall - Caley - V8
Fight on Black - Widdop - V9

Like I said, these grades are prob well out.

And it needs someone who has actually done some harder stuff to put them in, as well as all the north wales stuff that I havent seen yet.

You've picked some crackers there.

As far as the grades go (not that it matters):

NTBTA V4/5
Weedkiller Traverse more like V7/8
Sulky LIttle Boys is about V6.

When you say Jason's Undercling what do you mean? if you mean the one next to the Terrace its probably somewhere in the V7-V10 range.

Other ones i would add as being classic are:

Y-front - bowden V3
Caseg Groove V5
Ysgo Crack V1
Syrett's Roof V5
Perfect Porthole V2
Jerrys Arete (RHS) V6
Roaches Big Dyno V6

But then thats a very predictable list.

wot about Rays Roof at baldstones, looks flippin great :shock:  :sniper:
(no real reason for the sniper he jst looks really funky!!)

Also traverse at Ousal Crag, Churnet Valley, bout 6c (i think).

In no it old (and counted as "classic rite of passage") but the Arete (B4) at roaches is good even tho polished  

Love 2 do the big dyno at roaches (seen the video it looks awsome)

As does Buckstone dyno (but couldnt get close) did rich heap land it in the pic in the PEak Bouldering guide :?:

V8:Sloping Beauty - Earl Crag

V9:Jerry's Roof – Llanberis
