In reply to Li'l Zé:
So why is it known as "Northumberland Grading" when the slipstones are quite clearly in North Yorkshire?
We (I was one of the said three in the OP) were wondering why can't some of these grading anomolies been ironed out then.... surely thats the point in new guide books (as well as adding new routes of course) some of them are quite obvious to be honest...I set off up a nice easy looking arete ( I forget the name...) and tell the other two it can't be much more than Vdiff, but its a fantastic solo...lo and behold its VS 4c in the guide. I'm normally a little closer than that!!!!
any how. Great crag if you want to pack in lots of great fun solo's, away from...well everyone. and its got a boulder problem called The Emergancy Hat, what more could you want!
