In reply to Jesus of Suburbia:
There are classics all over the Lake District - get yourself on Gimmer, White Ghyll, Pavey Ark, Sca Fell (East and Main), Gable, Pillar, Dow, Black Crag, Esk Buttress, Castle Rock, Goat Crag etc. etc. All have days worth of great routes.
Avoid the near-roadside crags of Shepherds/Raven/Scout (especially at weekends) to see the best of the area.
