Welford's thing (Ram Air) is best found by first finding Dangerous Crocodile. On the ground abouve this, go about 40m back towards the parking and there is a big boulder facing a smaller steep boulder. Ram Air is the right arete of the long face of the big boulder that faces the little boulder. Mega classic stuff to the left too, on the ling face.

Californis Screamin is about 50m right of Foords Folly, a bulge and high arete on a boulder that sticks out of the hillside.

There's loads of good stuff elsewhere on Ramshaw too, will all be in the new Staffs guide.

other people might aspire to climb font 8a/8b or whateva but you only truly achieve in climbing if and when you climb a john welford fb7b+.  

imagine a "john welford's magic grades" article in ote - it would only last for 1 issue and only one person would have done any of the problems. :wink:

I was going to stick up some more staffordshire topos on this site. Lots of good new areas.

Coz if I get the illustrator file I can output it to pdf with the compression level that I want to use to put on the site.

Bo - just thought you were missing something glaringly obvious.
