I read in another post that this was a ss near hallamshire golf course. Does anyone have any more precise directions? Is it worth seeking out and is there anything else worth doing on the same block?
Cheers

it's just over the wall, on golf course land and quite close to a fairway but hidden in some trees. i think it's near a bus stop near where the road drops down (if you're heading from sheff.). i think golfers would spot you fairly easily, certainly when the leaves go. might be worth dressing in your finest titleist attire and taking a golf bag and a few clubs then pretend you're looking for your ball when they go past.
it's ages since i went but it's got some crazy painful holds from what i remember. no knowledge on how you climb it but i think the hard bit is low down. there may be some other easier stuff on same block but not much. that wasn't much help was it. sorry.

Would make for some good photos of the ascent too.

Is there anymore beta on this yet? Huffy?

I've only just seen this, think i was on hols when it was posted.
As far as I know there supposed to be about 5 lines on the block, and the main up tolerance up the middle is supposed to be 7b. when i tried it it was about 4 or 5 years ago when i was shitter than I am now (hard to believe I know) and couldn't do any of the main moves, which ain't what i'd have expected on a 7b. I recon its hard for the grade. not been back since.
the left arete is an easier warmup 6 thing too.

Huffy, the word is that you did a problem called Tolerance near Bell Hagg. No one seems to know much about it though. Any details? And are there other problems on the same boulder?
Heres a email i wrote to Dylan about that prob:
Sorry it's taken so long to hit you back with info on boulder at bell hagg.

Tollerance: sit start on obvious jug then move up to two crimps which is the crux (via drop knee or face on if strong) then head up to top. Cant remember how good it was but think it is worth a visit if only for the tick and esoterica. weighs in at about 7b/+ depending on who you are.
There is also a 6aish line to the left you can warm up on.
