Following Greg's 3rd ascent of Anubis - amazing! - out of curiosity what are the genuinely overhanging - ie with sustained overhanging sections (not round a bulge e.g. Bulgy, or pull over a short roof e.g. Blood Sweat and Frozen tears) UK winter routes. Starter list... below - what's missing (or doesn't count)?

Scotland:

Anubis XII 12

Banana Wall XII 12

Don't Die of Ignorance XI 11

The Cathedral X 11

The Greatest Show on Earth X 10

Holy Grail IX 10

Logical Progression X 10

Crazy Sorrow IX 10

To Those Who Wait IX 9

Sassenach IX 9

The Ninety-Five Theses IX 9

God Delusion IX 9

Hyperventilator IX ?

Wales:

Travesty Direct IX 9 (and Travesty VIII?)

Cracking Up IX 9

This follows nicely from the fig fours DT debate. (Is it contrived not to use them? Then again, "no-one does so on trad gear in the mountains anyway")

Don't know if White Noise counts as it's more of an 'M' graded climb.

Travesty isn't steep for long and even then it's not that steep. The Direct and Cracking Up are. Pete Harrison's IXs and Xs on that crag are generally pretty steep but not all the way so depends on your criteria!
