So I’ve been doing loads of training on the board over the last few months. It’s a lot of fun.
Does anyone have any recommendations for outdoor problems in the peaks or Yorkshire on grit ideally but maybe limestone too for the warmer months 7a to 7b+ that would resemble the kind of moves you find on a board? Think 35-45 degrees...
 

all I can think of is theThe Lark (f6C+) and Woolly Mammoth (f7B+) along with other stuff at  Hollin Hill and maybe Roof of the World - Undercut Start (V6)

Sounds like you need a trip up to the Bowderstone in the Lakes.

Example…

I haven't been on it but Tony's Wall at Mytholm looks about as boardy as they come on grit.

Too Drunk (f7A) is quite steep and crimpy to start.

Agree totally! Closest to a steep board session you will find.

Closer than the Bowderstone Ladder Face? CyL is more like a low angle board session with a circuit board attached to one end 😄

Bit late to this, but Suavito in the Peak District has a lovely dyno to a crimp which is very reminiscent of board climbing, plus a nice lunge for the top. Would highly recommend Suavito (f7B)
