We went to the far left hand end of Millstone yesterday afternoon so rather than walk in from the Surprise View car park we walked in from the road that goes down past Higar to join the main road to Hathersage.

Clearly visible from the road is quite a large boulder some way below the crag. On closer inspection we found it to be quite big and the front face has very little in the way of holds, but the left hand arete may go. It would probably be quite tricky and has a taxing landing.

I know you guys are down with all these little secret blocks and there's no mention of it in the old Froggatt guide or any of the bouldering guides.

Anyone done it? If not check it out.

Cheers,

J :-)

jonny brown spotted this years ago and was dissapointed to find a photo of it on the wall in dawes's house.  reckon that means it has had plenty of attention in the past.

It has seen a fair bit of attention and is definately on the last great problem list.

The arete is about E5 6a until the holds run out. Last move crux dyno. Probably E8/9 7a? Nasty landing and feels higher than you might think. There is the possibility of placing a very poor rurp about halfway up. Comes up quite regularly as a "Has anyone ever tried the..." type thread. Surprised it hasn't been done TBH.

The face has some holds on it, but not very many...
