UKC

Any stand out suggestions for crags or specific problems around Font 7a-7c much appreciated.

Crimpy problems would be a bonus. Looking to get out next weekend so it would have to be dry in the current season (weather depending of course).

Plenty of them. Have you never been before? I'd go strange plantation if so then. You'd have a great day if you can boulder up to 7C. As you would also at curbar, Burbage and various other places. 

I've done some of the obvious ones at Curbar Edge, Stanage Plantation and some at Wright's Rock at Churnet. And now looking to spread my wings a bit more. Really liked Gorilla Warfare/Early Doors at Curbar, Green Traverse at Plantation, Simple Simon/Fingers at Wright's Rock and so on...so perhaps something in a similar vein...

To me it seems like a lot of the well known ones around the places like Plantation and Curbar seem to be with hard compression/slopey cruxes (I know, of course there are many that don't) which is fine but just not to my strengths, so scoping out suggestions to see what is out there really. It's a 3hr drive up for me so trips are infrequent and precious...so I like to hit the right places when I do go up.

I should add 7C would be a project grade for me so looking for a worthy first in the grade.

Anston has some steep bits in that range

Limestone is your friend for steep and crimpy. Anston, Tor, Stoney etc

The Excreta Buttress at Higgar Tor has some good problems in the 7s. 

Warm up on Sick (f6B), then you have the slightly questionable Quintessential Higgarisms (f6B+), followed by the delightful Hemline (f7A+) which is a good warm up for Piss (f7B) and the crowning glory of Shit (f7B+). All on the same little block, mostly with the same steep roof start. It's also sheltered from the prevailing westerly which is one of the main reasons I've climbed there a lot. 

It dries pretty quickly. Good luck with the weather though, it's been consistently shocking for ages up here. I'm losing my mind.

I'd love to be able to say I have done piss and shit at Higgar Tor, looks pretty good too...looks like we're getting some more rain and snow around there this weekend. Might have to hold tight until the weekend after!

Other suggestions much appreciated. Bouldering on limestone had somehow skipped my mind but I only wish more problems topped out.

Well, if you do, just don't do it under that roof as it'll take ages to wash away......

I swear the finish of Sick is 8A, unless you're 6ft tall.   Actually, maybe 9A

Steep lime is probably best for crimps, steep grit tends to lend itself more to burly hooking and compression. Below is are a few I would recommend on the eastern grit edges.

• Steep Traverse (f6C)
• Captain Hook (f7B)
• Zippy's Traverse (f7B)
• Brass Monkeys (f7C)
• Made in Sheffield (f7A+)
• Piss (f7B) & Shit (f7B+)
• The Terrace (f7C) - more like 7B+
• Jason's Roof Sit (f7B+) & Jason's Roof (f7A)
• Huffy's Roof (f7C+) - actually 7C
• Detox (f7C+) - lower start to Huffys Roof and around 7C/+ depending on what beta you use or morpho tactics deployed.
• Mark's Roof Left-hand (f6C+)
• Mark's Roof Original (V6)
• Mark's Roof (f7B)
• Kidneystone (f7B)

Solid list. Done a few of those. 
I’d add Triangle Wall (f7A+)

Filthy crimping on a steep face.
