Peak Area Quiz 2013 ............
Thanks Toby (and Nige) for the most fun and most appropriately tricky peak area quiz I've seen to date; shame it wasn't recorded. 'Of course a version of Team UKB' (sans shark) win again... hope you will stick some of it up here to conform my beer goggles were not distorting reality too much.

16. Sligachan Hotel
18. 1972?
19. 1986?
(Should be searchable on the wild country website but you wouldn't do that would you?)
-
Yeah but what don't they serve? Not been for years, I'd guess at Tomatoes?
14 = ODG
-
15 got to be in Grindleford station cafe?
Correct but what's the answer?!

19. 1986?
(Should be searchable on the wild country website but you wouldn't do that would you?)
It is the Slig.
18. You would have got points for 1972. The WC website said 1971 but Mark Vallance was there last night and he said 1972 and I wasn't going to argue.
19. Oooo v close, but not banana...

Boom.

Can I have pedant points for saying that 16. is Seumas' Bar at the Sligachan Hotel (named in honour of Seumas the dog)?

Is it scrambled eggs that the Grindleford Cafe doesn't serve?

yes.

15. . Words to the effect of 'anything different from what's on the menu'?
I know that it used to be impossible to get a breakfast without tomatoes.
maybe just 'changes'

It is mushrooms as I hate them and always look at the sign in there fondly. It says 'dont ask for mushrooms, we dont serve them'! Classic

Jerry Morefat - Hello Laydeez?

21: Valkyrie, Great Western, Kipling Groove
32: Fiend ;)
A point for Valkyrie
-
28 - Chee Tor? (Never climbed there)
29 - The promontory at Black Rocks?
Jerry is definitely saying Hello Girls in the last one.
-
31 - 2hrs 36 mins
Very close, just outside my 10min leeway for points.
32 - Hatrick Edgeclinger - BLOC
OH BUGGER
Jerry Morefat - Hello Laydeez?
Bloc is right, close on the others.
-
And are Left Wall and Tower Ridge amongst the most wished for routes?
-
28 - Chee Tor? (Never climbed there)
29 - The promontory at Black Rocks?
Sorry no. 28 is easier than 29. Both have mega 3 star classic routes on them.
Jerry is definitely saying Hello Girls in the last one.

Points for both.

My first instinct was that 28 was Almscliff...

23 I think is Graham Hoey
21 London Wall, Left Wall, Old Man of Hoy

I was thinking Keith Sharples but reckon you are right....
-
23 I think is Graham Hoey
Is that Boulder Club from the Rivelin guide?
-
pretty sure it is
-
23 I think is Graham Hoey
21 London Wall, Left Wall, Old Man of Hoy
It is Mr Hoey, who was in the audience.
London wall isn't in the top 15, however Left Wall and East Face Route on Hoy are.
-
The Graham hoey one is the only one I'd have definitely got . Do I get a bonus point for remembering that it was "Graham hoey risking collateral ligament damage on boulder club"
-
Cheers OW, glad you enjoyed it.
I'd add that good as the questions are, the presentation was simply beautiful, the look of fear in most of the teams after the first few questions was perfect, the heckling as good as it should be and the mimes were stunning but it might be worth getting confirmation of all this from someone slightly more sober.

More of a give away. What's SE from Stanton?

Other than TSE then Matlock I don't know.
Wouldn't have done very well at all this year.

Road Runner Cave? And is the shark replacing Doylo?

Road Runner Cave? And is the shark replacing Doylo?
Road runner is correct, the thing missing isn't a person.
-
28 is Higgar
29 looks like a big corner with lines out from and across it, I'm tempted to say Cratcliffe's Fern Gully but with very little confidence,

Higgar is correct. Cratcliffe is close. Uber classic line is on the left.

-
11. Kings House Hotel, Glencoe?

Well done, tricky one.

Higgar is correct. Cratcliffe is close. Uber classic line is on the left.
the only other classic traverses I can think of are Windy Buttress & Chee Tor which I'm confident aren't right, so that leaves Sentinel Buttress at Chatsworth.

Q29
(http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3711/10975606075_e08893ff21_z.jpg)
This one is doing my head in. It should be so easy! I too was tempted to say Cratcliffe but the traverse lines don't look right. I think I've already guessed Black Rocks (I've not been there properly but it could be the Stonnis Crack area or the Promontory)? Something with traverses like that should be so obvious!
There must be some reason that the central corner line doesn't carry on straight up?!

Black wall or Great Western Area of Almscliff? (can't decide which)

The clue's where it says Peak Climbing at the top, I refer you to Jasper's recent observation:

Don't get too hung up on that, I only traced the graphic lines, remember sometimes lines don't continue when the crack is very obvious.

just spotted this, well done Nai, Chatsworth/sentinel it is!
