In reply to UKC Articles:
A nice list... Though some are technically Honister/Buttermere area. And, Grey Crags is THE place for low grade routes in Buttermere, with great Diff, VDiff, Severe and VS options.... as well as Pescod's Eagle Front across the way. So, dropping over the pass opens a whole new list of options...
In Borrowdale, I would add:
Donkey's Ears, HS, Shepherd's
The Coffin, VS, Black Crag
Hedera Grooves, VS, Lower Falcon
Aberration, MVS, Quayfoot Buttress
Endurance, VS, Sergeant Crag Slabs (albeit, Langstrath!)
I think Lost Boys (Steel Knotts) or Emma Line (Goats Crag) make for a good early (soft) foray into HVS... Lakeland Cragsman is also soft and well-protected at HVS, though long.
It's above the grade range, but The Mortician with the finger traverse finish is a brilliant and often overlooked HVS in the area, though a little tough for the grade... can't recommend it enough.
