Looking for a sport 7a to redpoint, somewhere around Manchester, so anywhere in the peak, or A55!

Cheers

Why not head to yorkshire?

Rose coranary at malham is a good first one ... its soft
My first UK one was consenting adults also at malham.

Consenting is vertical/slightly overhanging climbing on positive holds.However the crux is moving to the third bolt and with a lazy belayer you could hit the ground. I took the fall three times came close but did not hit the ground.
Rose has easy climbing to a big jug then an awkward traverse. After this steep climbing with a couple of big moves on positive holds to a big undercut then a massive jug. Ends with some nice tufa climbing. Varied and fun.

Jim Grin at trollers gill is worth seeking out.
boulder problem start then steep jug pulling to a rest then a couple of technical moves to the top. Very fun!

Haha, an excellent suggestion, possibly the most daft sport route I have ever done, a 2 move boulder problem to a jump to grab a sling..... an easy tick and quite fun.... but not exactly a king line?!

If you do visit Ty Newydd then jump on Black Wednesday, it gets 7a+ but its pretty soft and its a great route
