Am going back up to Leeds soon to sit my third year at uni, and what i really want is a graded list like in the peak bouldering guide. If i had one i reckon it woulkd encourage me and me mates to travel further afield, it would also give me more aims. At the min all i do when climbing is decide where to go and when im there im never sure what i want to try. So i thought what about divising our own graded list, just for fun obviously. and for problems to work towards.
Here are the routes i would nominate, they are either ones i have done and loved, ones i have tried or ones that look mega classic.
Otley wall, V2 - Caley
Mr Smooth, V2 - Caley
Morrels wall, V2 - Almscliff
The Villain, V2 - Bridestones
Crucifix arete, V3 - Almscliff
Trick arete, V4 - Earl
Big bash, V4 - Bridestones
Ripper traverse, V4 - Caley
Sloper patrol, V5 - Almscliff
Mansons wall, V5 - Shipley
Horror arete, V5 - Bridestones
New Jerusalem, V6 - Caley
Rons traverse, V6 - Ilkley
Tiger traverse, V6 - Shipley
First arete, V7 - Ilkley
Demon wall roof, V7 - Almsciff
Red baron, V8 - Shipley
Andy Browns wall, V9 - Earl
blockbuster, V9 - Caley
Larger, larger, larger, V9 - Earl
Jerrys arete V9 - Bridestones
The keel, V10 (as it is in guide!) - Almscliff
So what do u think? Do u reckon these are fair game for a best of list? what else would be in?
