| Unnamed Problem | 6c | Caley Roadside | 07.11.2010 | |
|
V4/5 seems right to me - the start of the traverse felt trivial, the end added one hardish move to the stand-up. To me, ...

| Chariots of Fire Eliminate | 7b+ | Ilkley | 27.06.2010 | |

Powerful and very sequency with a nasty bunched finish that spat me off repeatedly (despite being shared with the f6c ...

| Top Cat Traverse | 7b+ | 7b+ | Almscliff | 25.02.2010 |

I found the finish as hard, if not harder, than the supposed crux. Keeping low all the way to the corner crack is ...

I found the low eliminate pretty tricky. I spent a lot of sessions falling off the move from the mono (my legs just ...

| Unnamed Problem | 7a | Almscliff | 27.07.2009 | |

I think the f7a/V6 is an eliminate from the old YGB guide. As I recall for that tick you had to hang BOTH the poor ...

Stand up felt about 7a to me: horribly bunched slaps really aren't my bag! Anyone got beta for the sit-down? I ...

Nice problem - very sustained and easily dropable at the very end. Harder but much nicer moves than the link from the ...
|

| Unnamed Problem | 7b | Brimham | 10.07.2009 | |
|
Nasty moves between nasty holds - my punishment for not being strong enough for Ian's Traverse!
|

| The Long Haul | 7b | Brimham | 08.07.2009 | |

I agree that is far better finished up the left arete: it's less arbitary and much more satisfying. Even with a long ...

| Pinky Traverse | 7b | Brimham | 30.06.2009 | |

Sustained and unforgiving: every sloper had to be caught exactly right, otherwise I had no power left for that ...

| Unnamed Problem | 7b | Brimham | 22.06.2009 | |

I was recently shown a nice semi-eliminate here; I'm not sure if it's this problem but it's well worth doing. From the ...

| The Scone | 7a | Caley Crag | 01.06.2009 | |

Pleasant slab moves and a nice, burly slopey-lip traverse, linked by strange dropdown sequence that makes the whole ...

| Fieldside Traverse | 7b | 7b+ | Almscliff | 28.05.2009 |

Did this via a tough drop-down to match on the low sloper. It felt a bit hard and tenuous compared to the other 7b's ...

| Unnamed Problem | 6b | Brimham Outlying | 14.04.2009 | |

Bit of a dwarf's revenge this one: the crux on those little crimps felt very nasty and cramped indeed. Good fun.
|

| Crimpy Roof | 7b | 7b | Brimham Outlying | 14.04.2009 |

Really good problem. The laying-down start feels fun rather than contrived and the tiny intermediate crimps give ...

| Unnamed Problem | 6c | Caley Roadside | 31.03.2009 | |

A quality problem that I hadn't noticed before: so good I did it twice to make up for my previous neglect!
|

| The Grouch | 7b | Brimham | 29.03.2009 | |

A superb problem that flows very nicely - more sequency and less brutal than its steep, slopey appearance suggests ...

| Underhand | 7b+ | Almscliff | 13.03.2009 | |

At last.... 2-3 years of failure and I climb it third go after trying a tiny variant in my footwork. I. Have. Wasted. ...

Fantastic problem: funky moves on slopey holds that almost give sideways shuffling a good name! Pumpy, but the ...

Cheers for the tips - it looks like a session of concerted pressing and shuffling is in order.

| Desert Island Arete | 7a | Earl Crag | 08.05.2008 | |

Proper classic: a nice contrast of powerful then tenuous. The "traditional" V7/ft7a+ felt about right - the ft6c+ of ...

| By Hook or by Crook | 7a | Hunter's Stones | 28.03.2008 | |

| Mnemonic | 6c | Hunter's Stones | 28.03.2008 | |

Nice - quite tenuous and tactile. Topping-out felt quite hairy on a damp lonesome day...
|

| Wavelength | 7a | Hunter's Stones | 28.03.2008 | |

Superb problem - sustained and burly. The cross-through to the pocket and move up to the break look unlikely for the ...
|

| Resonance | 6b | Hunter's Stones | 28.03.2008 | |

Good and tenuous if done locking off on a LH slopey crimp/sidepull. Possibly a little soft for the grade if done using ...

| Unnamed Problem | 6c | 6c | Ilkley | 13.02.2008 |

good problem - climbs far better than it looks. Sustained with quite testing crimpy moves right at the end.
|

| South Cave Traverse | 7a+ | 7a+ | Almscliff | 10.02.2008 |

Very sustained with decent enough handholds but near nothing for feet - a real battle at the end even with an ...

| Unnamed Problem | 7b | Almscliff | 10.02.2008 | |

A really satisfying problem. For me the crux was having enough faith in the crack to justify the potential foot ...

| Unnamed Problem | 7a | 7a | Almscliff | 10.02.2008 |

felt softish 7a/v6 crossing through from the two low slopey pockets to the high sharp pocket.
|

| Stipule | 7c | Slipstones | 31.01.2008 | |

The less eliminate version of this climbs nicely. A butch move from the undercut to get LH in base of sidepull, then ...

| Unnamed Problem | 7a | 7a | Widdop | 26.09.2007 |

| Fight On Black | 7b | 7b | Widdop | 26.09.2007 |

Some lovely balancy, tenuous, and technical arete moves... combined with dirty, brittle rock. Probably worth ...

| Unnamed Problem | 7a | 7a | Ilkley | 22.08.2007 |

if done in the same manner as the V5 eliminate in the YGB guide (undercuts, RH pocket, LH sidepull, jug) this is nails ...
|
||||
| Wall of Horrors Traverse | 6c+ | 7a | Almscliff | 20.08.2007 |

This feels hard for V6 let alone V5, at least by my method. Semi-mantelling that little pocket to get the chip below ...
|

| Flapjack Traverse | 7a+ | 7a+ | Caley Crag | 21.05.2007 |

|

|

| Patta's Arete | 7a | 7a | Almscliff | 30.04.2007 |

good problem... fingery with a surprising amount of beef needing to be applied to move between crimps only about 6" ...
|

| Unnamed Problem | 6b | 6b | Almscliff | 13.04.2007 |

feels more like V4 to me (although a bit soft when you have it wired) - the first half is a path but the incredibly ...
|

| First Arete | 7b | Ilkley | 29.03.2007 | |

How do people finish this? Is it a just a really big throw with the RH from the two crimps on the arete (smearing RF up ...

| Ilkley Bar Kid | 6b+ | 6b+ | Ilkley | 14.08.2006 |

Lovely fingery cross through move; a cool problem and well worth the trip. Probably a bit stiff for V4, but I guess ...

Very good - harder and more tenuous than its slabby appearance suggests.

nice problem - quite fingery and balancey

quite a powerful high step on move - harder than the RHS?

Started at the break under the roof. The body-tensiony moves to catch the lip and cross-through to the jug felt ...

| Unnamed Problem | 7a+ | 6c | Brimham | 05.05.2005 |
|
Lovely moves - strenuous, but V6? surely not (unless I've improved a lot recently). It's no way as hard or sustained as ...

| Unnamed Problem | 6b+ | 6c | Brimham | 05.05.2005 |

a good, slightly dynamic, rainy day problem... if it's the one I did? Started just under the block, LH in crack & ...

| Holdless | 7a+ | Bridestones | 25.04.2005 | |
|
felt around V4/5 - although I could reach the RH sidepull okay and pop for the top from decentish footholds and a good ...

| A Mouthful of Crystals | 6c | 6c | Bridestones | 25.04.2005 |
|
felt around V5 on a warm, sweaty day - you just have to believe in the holds!

| Australia Roof | 6b | 6b | Earl Crag | 25.04.2005 |
|
a good, burly problem - nice combo of footlocks and dynamism
|

| Unnamed Problem | 6b | 6b | Widdop | 11.04.2005 |
|
nice problem - slightly tenuous start and a burly finish that felt strangely commiting given its height!
|
||||
| Unnamed Problem | 7a | 7a | Widdop | 11.04.2005 |
|
A bounce start for the LH crimp felt hard V5 (i'm incapable of V7, especially with bleeding finger-tips at the end of a ...

| Four Square Left | 6b+ | 6b+ | Widdop | 11.04.2005 |
|
powerful and insecure feeling topout (if you do it like me anyway - cross though the LH onto the arete) - great stuff. ...

argggggrhhh my shoulder ligaments! Going for the pocket gaston really quickly and positively as soon as the heel-hook ...

| Black Dog Arete | 6c | 6c | Brimham | 04.04.2005 |
|
burly - not the best choice of problem with font'd elbows and shoulders! Having the left leg in a quasi-knee bar ...

| Teaspoon Variation | 6a+ | 6a+ | Almscliff | 21.03.2005 |
|
strenuous and frankly unpleasant - have to be feeling strong to get the left foot on .
|

| Syrett's Roof | 6c+ | 6c+ | Almscliff | 21.03.2005 |
|
an absolutely fantastic problem (and possibly not the best choice for a hot sweaty day - but hey... I had mats). You ...
|

| Dolphin Belly Slap | 7a | 7a | Almscliff | 21.03.2005 |
|
burly - strikes me as decent value for V6 (cf stuff like Pair in a Cubicle etc). Anyone arguing for V5 has done it far ...
|
||||
| Flying Arete | 6b | Almscliff | 21.03.2005 | |
|
nice climbing, easier I suspect for the tall. The top-out's a gripper (especially on your own with a mis-placed mat!) ...
|

| Pair in a Cubicle | 7a | 7a | Brimham | 15.03.2005 |
|
This brought a right old grin to my face. Eventually managed in fairly "clean" style: just had to really commit to ...

agree with Dan - once you have a few problems wired Shipley provides a good day out (especially for low-grade types ...
|

| Vim | 6a | 6a | Shipley Glen | 07.03.2005 |
|
fantastic climbing that seemed pretty stiff for the grade (gave me more trouble than Manson's Wall - though that could ...
|

| Timeless Divide | 5+ | Slipstones | 31.01.2005 | |
|
A nice problem - feels all the sweeter because the LHS handholds look so bloody inadequate (a tiny crimp and the pinchy ...
|

| Strictly Personal | 6b | 6a+ | Slipstones | 31.01.2005 |
|
brilliant moves, both strenuous and technical. Hard to grade as it feels impossible until you get the sequence, and ...
|
||||
| Steptoe | 6b | Slipstones | 31.01.2005 | |
|
No holds above the pair of poor crimps - just crimp like a beast whilst udging feet until the top can be gained. Just ...
|
||||
| Rock On Left-Hand | 6a+ | 6a | Slipstones | 31.01.2005 |
|
Powerful reachy move to gain pocket, less technical than rock-on but far more brutal (long arms and short legs would be ...
|
||||
| Rock On | 5+ | 5+ | Slipstones | 31.01.2005 |
|
I found this trickier than the LH variation - probably as I'm tall (6'3"). A superb courage-of-convictions move - ...
|
||||
| Anniversary Arete | 6b | 6b | Brimham | 24.01.2005 |
|
nice problem - quite sustained technicalities. V4 seems a mite generous - though I had just been to Kyloe 'in' where ...
|
||||
| Unnamed Problem | 6b | Brimham | 10.01.2005 | |
|
I've always found this tricky for the grade (though may a result of long legs and a poor sequence). Extracating my ...
|

| Manson's Wall | 6c+ | 6c | Shipley Glen | 06.01.2005 |
|
fantastic stuff, surprised to find that it was not all over after gaining the high crimpy LH "ear". The final dynamic ...
|

| Smarter | 6b | 6b | Bridestones | 20.12.2004 |

felt V4 done via the ramp from undercuts and a pebble. One of those knacky problems that initially feels very hard for ...
|
||||
| Small And Smart | 6b | 6c | Bridestones | 20.12.2004 |
|
this felt about V5 using the pocket, sloper and pebbles (no ramp) - awkward, blind smearing off of the pebble. Top ...

| Pine Tree Arete | 6c+ | 6c+ | Caley Crag | 06.12.2004 |

sustained stuff with the poorest holds saved for near the end, exited via the scoop to the left of the arete. One of ...
|
||||
| The Pinch | 6c | Caley Crag | 06.12.2004 | |
|
the dynamic start from low holds to the left makes it feel more "complete" and doesn't really add any difficulty (the ...
