Title: winter ticklist
Post by: crazy climbing pete on November 13, 2006, 11:16:49 am

Hi,

My challenge for this winter was originally to crack font 7a, but after doing Trackside at Curbar last monday, i'm thinking of trying for about a dozen.

Think is though, i live in Birmingham, and while i don't mind travelling, i would like to do nice problems when i finally get to the crag. Any suggestions?

Around 7a, nationwide excluding northumberland, scotland and down south.

Here's a trio of yorkshire crags that have several around that grade that you could try in one visit.  There's quite a few more too that I've not mentioned.

Earl:

Handy Andy's 7a+
Desert island arete 7a
The gimp 7a+
Grape nut 7a+

Caley:

Not my stile 7a
new jerusalam 7a/7a+
ben's groove 7a
Creme egg eliminate 7a (I found it fairly easy though)

Almscliff:

Dolphin belly slap 7a
Demon wall roof 7a+
Patta's arete 7a
Si's arete 7a
Pebble wall 6c+ (tricky though)
