New problems

Very excited today as I'm getting prepared for a trip to Crookrise tomorrow followed by putting up some new problems in the afternoon (weather permitting). I've done a fair bit of research and the only reference to any problems I can find are on www.yorkshiregrit.com happily a few of the obvious lines have been bagged but there still seems to be a huge amount of development potential here still. Below are a few photos I've taken of the spot over the past few days.

There seems to be a wide range of problems between font 4 and font 8a (at a guess) so far I've counted nearly 50 possible problems on walks up there with Phoebe and Whisper... just excited to go up with out a 17 month old toddler on my back!



Obvious line using the layback crack.

fantastic boulder, the picture doesn't really do it justice

colossal roof (the lip is about 10ft up) the boulder is propped against another restricting the amount of lines but there's definitely possibilty of some scary mantles.

The roof viewed from the side showing the boulder beneath

backside of the roof boulder

a tidy little prow

more sloping mantles and traverses

view from the far side of the boulders

nice shallow groove running up this slabby boulder

hard problem up the sloping arete

lots of potential here
