No, its not Baslow. I was actualy quite surprised to find you could take photos this good at this crag. I might post another photo as a clue is a while.

I vote for Hell Bag too - sure I've done this problem when I were a rodent in halls up that way!

well, it'll be the A57, but not really the Snake at that point.....

Is it actually the A57 or is it that lane going down towards it? thinking eth orientation is all wrong....

I can't think of a slab like that at Smell Fag, it looks quite good, maybe I will go back there one day, as regards that lane thing - thats quite a bit further up I reckon - if you mean the one that goes back up from A57 (not the snake then you pedantic buggers) that is.

I think that slab at Bull Slagg is called All Hollows and is round to the east of Nunn's eliminate.

That yeah it must be the A57 then, i think i had me roads mixed up, it was moider.

Bit of a one move wonder I think....but my decrepit memory could well be failing me. I reckon it's the A57 and not the lane, but it just looks like the lane - I guess the A57 used to be not much more than a cart-track back in them days.

Some nice pics on that site - like the posing shot on Flying Buttress Direct.

I like on the bell hagg one how he's climbing in purple flares (cords?) and a skin-tight bri-nylon top. Class.

Also i can't get over that some people do wuthering facing out - crazy:

That looks hideous! Maybe he had extra-fine heel control or something.
