Have a week coming up in the southern Peak at the end of Feb and busy training and planning my tick list, am after recommendations in the 6b-7a+ range. Style - Not particularly good on tiny crimps or very thin slabs, otherwise anything really. Staying near Cratcliffe (and have done a fair bit there and at RHS) but am keen to explore newstones/baldstones as have never really been there when conditions have been good. Will also have a couple of days up burbage/stanage way.. have only done a few of the 'standard' classics around this grade

At Newstones:
Sly Arete
The Ripple - quite crimpy though
Baldstones:
Elephants Ear
Baldstones traverse
Cratcliffe
The Egg
-
The Nose (7A) - Burbage West
Conan the Librarian (6B) - Mother Cap
Green Traverse (7A) - Stanage
NTBTA (6C) - Stanage
If it's wet one day, maybe head to the Churnet;
High Speed Impact (7A+ but it's not) - Gentleman's Rock
There's loads more, but my minds gone blank.

shit at the stride/cratcliffe you need to do:
Crat:
razor roof
traverse lip of rozor roof cave from the RH problem (RZA roof)
brain dead
the sloper/rib problem on the top boulders
cheggers can't be boozers lefthand
optimistic meg
stride:
flake slab
grizzly arete
flipper arete
both cave problems
lone boulder arete
nobody knows
+ loads of other things you'll see on the way round and like the look of.
bouldering-wise, this is about one of the best days out in the peak.
