Oh, and one final thing - is The Keel really 7c? Is that what people reckon these days?

Maybe they feel UKB is a 'peakie' site and hence not worthy of attention. I've always found it odd how much I get jibed by yorks/lancs climbers for being a 'peakie', when 'peakies' have no corresponding name or stance towards yorks/lancs climbers. Maybe it comes from a desire to keep yorkshire's secrets safe from marauding southerners. Maybe it's just because the Yorkshiregrit site is really good and additional publicity is not considered worth persuing.
Also a large proportion of yorkshire climbers (that I know at least) are teachers, and therefore do not have time to waste during the day when they should be working sat in front of a computer!
I'm determined to do absolutely fuck all work today.
Kerplunk? With our kids?I'd leave work looking like a pin cushion!

Grades mentioned on the list are from the definitive guides.Do you know about the history of Blackhead btw? Can you ask Streaky if not? I think he did it with the bolt hole - I've got Doug Shepherd written down somewhere for an ascent without but he might be a giant? Anyhow - a superb 7b/+ morpho highball which probably deserves inclusion.Do you still think DWR would just scrape 7a or were you just fit and strong back then?
