Make it Snappy - ultimately safe, albeit a potentially long fall - funky moves!

I reckon you could have a damn good go at Barriers in time. Technical well protected slab, should suit you very well.

Ignoring highball types things-

Nosferatu - Burbage South (not really E6 ?)
Genocide - Cratcliffe (font 7a on a rope)
Flex - Rivelin Quarries (slate-esque)
Mothers Pride - Millstone (sporty, F7a+/b)
Winters Grip - Millstone (you need two short knifeblade pegs, and then it's quite safe so not really E6 ?)
Desolation Angel - Wharncliffe
Make it Snappy - Gardoms
Pulsar Direct - Higgar (font 6C on a rope. Also Block & Tackle ?)
Salmon LH - Bamford (not really E6 ?)
Kaluza Klein - Robin Hoods Stride (when you're >6ft!)

Gritlist is useful

There's Daytona Wall with a direct start at cows mouth quarry, E6 6b, mainly soloed as it's not very high and widely regarded to be unprotected.

There's Purgatory Problem at Widdop, good route, gave it a crack a couple of months ago but gave up after resorting to underhand tactics and a couple of falls......

With pads Narcissus, Froggatt. Without, mmmm, knees like mine down the road! Agree about Kaluza Klein I,m 5' 10" v. soft touch for the grade.

Barriers in Time (E6 6b)

Always one I've fancied a go at.

In reply to Smelly Fox:

Barriers in Time (E6 6b)... it's safe enough, and remarkably workable... I somehow managed to down climb 90% of it after bottling it right at the top!
