I am new to the area and haven’t climbed anywhere around here. Looking for some classic crimpy slabs or face climbing in the 7a-7c grade. Would like to get a list together. Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Uphill Quarry Sounds like what your looking for, Living Dead (7b) and Chiming for You (7b) especially.

Was It You? (7c+) would fit the bill although a bit harder than your grade range. As above pretty much anything at Uphill works. The routes on Armistice wall at  Blaise Castle Gorge are very crimpy vertical routes, Wave No White Flag (7c) and Remembrance (7b+) both good (although the grades here are the wrong way round). Bitter and Twisted (7a+) in New Quarry is also good vertical crimping.

Avon Gorge (Main Area) - the newly developed Fairyland should fit the bill Oberon (7b) and Titania (7b+)

Avon Gorge (Sea Walls Area) has lots of crimping in the higher grades but they're mostly hybrid trad/sport with bolts only on the harder climbing. Just Searing Away (7b+) is an exception (lower off might be rope around a bush though?)

Lots of slabby crimpy stuff at  Portishead Quarry including the area "classic" Highway One (E4 6a) (Needs a couple of wires at the start but the difficulties are all bolt protected; 6c+ ish depending on which collection of holds is in-situ).

Smashing of Amps (7c+) at split rock quarry is really good.

There are some new (or newly/re-bolted) routes at uphill, all in that grade range.
