Ain't in guide but is now!! It's probably marked on the rock though! In amongst all the Shaz 4 Ste bollocks.
Given the amount of Sweat Release promotion
I'm guessing it's worth a go.

I'm always trying to get folk to try it, generally to no avail. It's a significant prob for me, being the hardest thing I'd ever climbed at the time by miles.

Spending a fair bit of time over in Sheffield / Wharncliffe over the next two years so after cracking the straight ups will definitely give it a go.
The contours are a little too close on the way up the hill!!

If you are discrete in where you park it is possible to drive in the back way and reduce the walk in to about 1min on the flat!
This track is officially only open on certain days of the week, but in all practicality is open access every day. I've never been challenged and the area crossed is now CRoW land too. Don't be purturbed by the noisy dogs in the kennels by the first gate. I park on a grass verge on the right before the gate leading to the farm and houses at the SE end of the crag. Be double careful not to block the track or the gates.
4000th post
or perhaps
is more appropriate

4000!!
You could get a thesis out of that.
Thanks for the info, much appreciated. I'm car-less for now so will have to stick to the plod, does make everything at least a couple of grades harder tho.

Had a look in the book. The description of the top bit of Blunted is right "...climb the rib above.", but the line on the topo is off, it should swing left early on and then continue up the black rib above.
