In reply to Andy Moles and Rick Graham:
Considered Haystack, but rejected it on the (perhaps dubious) grounds that it's not quite of Steeple quality (and might not really be E3 anyway?).
Did Fian Grooves a couple of weeks ago and thought the SMC's ** was more accuraste than GL's **** - brilliant first E2 pitch, but the third E3 pitch is a bit "nasty"!
Kingpin: having backed off and then fallen off the "nasty" (and damp!) first pitch on consecutive days last week my judgment might not be impartial, but can a route whose main difficulties are this groove and an awkward, greasy chimney really make the grade? Extreme Rock bias? The neighbouring Temple of Doom is a far finer looking line and could singlehandedly justify the Scottish **** system - two utterly brilliant and well balanced E3 pitches; a contender for the best route I've ever done!
Crocodile is very good, but that good? Certainly not as good as Freakout, but that is E4 anyway!
Not done Skydiver or Big Lick........
