In reply to UKB Shark:
You are very welcome to bring your trad gear up and lead any of the trad routes.
No offer from me to belay you as I don't want to report a dead body to the police.
Let me know when you are coming as I'll avoid the place.
However the newly bolted routes are very good and safe!
In the 35 years I've lived in the NE it's only recently that I've considered this as a suitable
climbing venue and I feel its for people that have climbed here to judge.
