A collection of steep UK sport routes.

Aiming for the king line of a crag, not necessarily the highest grade.
The more outrageously steep & sustained the better, more than a gentle overhang or small bulge!
Infinite gravity @ blackers hole is a perfect example.

Alot of these I've peeped from the few guidebooks I own so might not be steep and alot will be missing (yorkshire, scotland, north wales etc).
