In reply to BloodyJam:
I do a fair bit of limestone trad through the summer and you're right, there's very few people at the crags tradding. Surprising really as Stoney and High Tor are fantastic although I suppose you have to be getting into the E numbers to get the best of them.
If any lower grade climbers are reading this and have always been put off by limestone because it's a Choss filled, polished mess get down to Staden Quarry. Absolutely brilliant!
I always hated limestone. I'd go once a year when the midgies were to bad on grit, end up on some polished abomination like Froth (a VS at Stoney) then run away with my tale between my legs. But a little perseverance, and getting used to it shows that there's hundreds more 2&3 star routes on my doorstop.
Tl;dr: climb limestone trad, it's better than you think
