In reply to fijibaby: Got to add to general theme here - why would you want to climb grit when it's completely out of condition?
I quite like the way the sweat and midges happen at the same time of year - both make climbing grit intolerable, so you gotta look elsewhere. Moorland grit can be good in the hot summer (still a fair midge risk, check the wind direction) but lime's where it's at for me. Kind of crap compared to grit, but still beautiful places, with exciting, very strenuous, long, exposed and fun climbs. Would recommend going to Dove Dale instead of The Roaches, it's just round the corner, and it's in condition.
