Iain Farrar has added a new slab problem between his two other ones up on a ledge at the rightward end of the main quarry. It’s between Boonapi and Marramunt, details of which are here: http://peakbouldering.info/boulders/39 (http://peakbouldering.info/boulders/39)
Jump start from the right – left foot on good diagonal edge, jump for 2 reasonable edges and carry on up. Crux is getting to edge just below flake near top.
7b+ I think but could be 7c or 7b
Good work yoot :great:
-
sounds good. is this the same slab thats listedd as a project/cleaned slab in the burbage millstone guide?
-
That's the one
-
might have a look at this tomorrow. take it that its all clean? its a good looking slab anyway
-
Should be clean, he did the FA on Weds. It’s pretty clean rock on that slab anyway.
-
One of these days, people will even go bouldering at Laurencefield.
The future is here.
Sounds like a good line. Iain would love Lancs.
-
why, has he had his self-respect removed?

I realise it's the done thing to jest, but Lancs quarry lines are as good as Peak quarry lines. Same rock, same thing. Take the Wiltons - long dismissed as whack for bouldering, this year I did about 40 7's there. Some are crap, but some are brilliant. I enjoy esoterica, but I've also done enough Peak classics to know a decent problem.
People used to (maybe still do) scoff at bouldering in Peak quarries, but times are changing as the Iains of the world quest onwards.
