In reply to Offwidth: Good effort, there`s a few I haven`t done which I`ll put on my list for the future. The only criticism is the bias towards the Shefield side of the Peak, there are many good grovels elsewhere.

In reply to Offwidth:
Superb list. I love this sort of stuff and reckon I've only done about 40% of these.

A.

In reply to craig h:

Its a bit of a work in progress but it is now in tens in categories roughly as a graded list in each. I'll use it on my own site soon. I live on the SE of the peak which might explain the emphasis: the western peak outside The Roaches is taking more time.

In reply to Alastair Hudson:

I've done them all apart from the Ravenstones stomach grovel (not been there yet), The Twopenny Tube (not been there yet and unsure of its current state), the Dovers Route 3 hole (failed...very tight), Gyneachology (failed...very tight) and Canyon Climb through route (failed..very tight)

In reply to Offwidth:

Go on, put Vaya Con Dios on there.

It was probably given VS when first done - you'd probably think it HS now (ignore those lying guidebooks)

Go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on.
Go on

In reply to TimB:

Vaya Con Dios was E2 in 1981 guide, the one I have

In reply to TimB:

Rules is rules.

I do agree Vaya Con Dias is an excellent climb of the type that Ive listed as is The Dover and Ellis Chimney.

In reply to sutty:

Lies, all lies.

It's a good traditional HS I tell thee.

(Alright, it's physically about F7a+ for a weedy modern crack-o-phobe like me but that's just my weaknesses)

In reply to Offwidth:

This is the sort of glorious and pointless exercise which made Britain Great - superb effort !

In reply to Offwidth:
is cracken cave in there

In reply to Sandman:

I've tried to leave routes out that are that dangerous, plus I havent visited yet.

In reply to TimB:

It may well be HS, Austin would have done it with two hairy pullovers on though

And if that is HS you can certainly solo Moyers Buttress as Austin did after doing VCD;-0

In reply to Offwidth: This would make a great article on UKC ! just get a few nice photos to go with it.

In reply to Nick Smith:

LOL

These routes are the sort of thing that taking photos are the last thing on your mind. Do I really have to do them all again :-O. Having said that I do have a few taken safely inside stomach traverse lines and squeeze chimneys, enough for an article anyway. I'll consider it if it rains a lot in the next few weeks.

In reply to Offwidth:
OK.
Quick question. What is 'Ludchurch'?
Can't find anything about this at all.

And is the Druids Cave at Cratcliffe anything to do with the Hermits Cave? (don't recall seeing any wriggling in the area) or is it a cave I've never seen?

Offwidth?

A.

In reply to Alastair Hudson:

I assume it's the same thing as Lud's Church, near the Roaches. Anyway, climbing isn't allowed.

In reply to Alastair Hudson:

Apologies thats a typo: it is The Hermitage not the hermits cave or the Druids cave (and access is prevented by a fence). If I checked the guides for everything I wrote or wrote more carefully, as a busy professional I'd never find time to climb the routes and compile these lists I would be grateful if people pointed out typos (another annoying one is I sometimes muddle left and right).

Ludchurch (as it is called in the staffordshire guide) is perhaps also known as Lud's Church. It is an atmospheric gritstone chasm north of the Roaches (in the woods behind Gradbach Hill). It is included as an impressive cleft walk (for a wet day?) not for the (banned) climbing there.
