Hello

Im just wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some good V8, V8+ and V9s in the peak district? Suggestions of the best areas to would be much appreciated to as have 3 days there next week and dont really know the place that well. Bin to Stanage plantation a couple of times and its sweet! (I know Brad Pitt before its mentioned!)

Cheers for your time,

Sim

That's just being pedantic for no reason.

In 3 days I'd buy a copy of the bouldering guide then go for:

Stanage Plantation: Storm, Deliverance, Brad Pit, Brass Monkeys. I'd also head over to the buckstone dyno.

Burbage Valley: West Side Story, Blind Date, Desparete, Alliance Sit, Famous Grouse, Piss, Made in Sheffield

Cratcliffe + Robin Hood Stride + Rowtor + Stanton Area: T-Crack, Jerry's Traverse, Big Al Qaeda, My Apple, Spare Rib

In reply to Hazelnuts: Not really. All the peak bouldering uses Font grades, not Vermin grades. Makes life easier for all if we're talking the same system.

Not true, the bmc guides use V grades, each to their own.

You are being an arse

Hannibal looks like it climbs awesomly, Tom's Cave Stoney Middleton. Be warned though, it is 3 feet from a noisy road; and its ugly as sin. This factor doesn't stop many cave addicts mind!
