Routes in England for selected grade

Another perfect grit arete. Beautiful climbing up a proud line with a slightly iffy landing, and high enough to make you pay attention.

One of many exceptional flowstone pitches in this crag. Initiate by tackling the wall just right of the bolts, for favourable holds. Navigate the progressively intricate wall by executing a slender manoeuver and utilising a minor undercut, leading to a more manageable conclusion on the left.

A pleasing pitch as long as the correct line is taken. Start at a steep 3m flake-crack. Take the stiff layback crack to a rest. Move left and pick a way up the wall which reveals some surprising holds. Info taken from the Rockfax 'West Country Climbs' topo

Hard lower wall and beefy roof make this worth seeking out.

A superb eye-catching pitch via a series ofcrusty pockets that run up the leaning wall. Eases with altitude.......

Through broken rock to the left of a V grove, then tend right to an anchor, right of the thin seam.

An ultra-bold route with gear at around 4m. Side-runners either side lower the grade to somewhere between HVS and E2 dependent on how high they are.

Follow the crack. Very tricky.

An enjoyable ascent up the face. Navigate beyond the breaks and shift right to reach the two pockets, leading to a slender finish.

Ascend the overhanging crack gradually and continue upwards with ease. At the top ledge, choose between a direct finish or traverse right to an easier crack.

Navigate rightwards, through the irregularly contoured fissure. Conclude left of the crack at the peak. Finish direct at 6c.

Up the arête on the right hand side.

Start on two pockets to the right of The Hourglass.

A favoured route ascends the arete, featuring pleasant grips and a challenging section over the bulge that adds to the enjoyment.

Left-facing corner under the middle of the roof, with high first bolt. Follow the corner (trending left) to first lower off, then slightly right past additional bolts to lower-off just under the roof.

Position yourself to the right of the recess and move horizontally for a few metres, then ascend directly to secure a well-angled grip. Finish direct.

Top 50 climb. Pumpy. Start in the middle of the steep section, through fingery lower wall and finish up thin crack.

Midway between Boris and the Three Amigos is a prominent square-cut arête with an attractive orange sidewall (that’s immediately visible on high as you enter the quarry). This gives an excellent strenuous pitch starting up the white arête and climbing the steep breccia speckled crack with some big flowing moves linking some unobvious holds. Make sure you keep to the crack at the top (as you pass the last bolt runner) before reaching down right to clip the double ring abseil station.

Climb long layback to the big shelf, traverse left, then stop and have lunch. Finish up cracks above.

Two pitches, separated by a large ledge. Pitch one feels like an independent line.

Climb the arete, starting on the left side, but using either side as needed.

A robust ascent along a widened fissure, with a challenging finger-jam required at the halfway point. Shift right to finish as for Diversion, or go directly.

A great route albeit with a polished and difficult start. Get past the 1st bolt and some enjoyable climbing that doesn't let up awaits. Plenty of bolts make french-freeing of this route possible.

Excellent sustained route through a steep weakness and through the roof. From a forked tree climb the crack to under a roof, move 1m left until you get to a large blue insitu thread. Clip this and move up through the cracks and weakness to the roof. Finish the roof tending slightly right through strenous moves.

A good pitch that takes on a fine corner-crack. Start at a right-facing flake crack 10m down from the top of the ramp. Climb the corner past some difficult moves midway, to where it ends at a short steep headwall. Traverse right to better holds and easier ground leading back left to belays. The short headwall can be climbed directly via a long move at 6a.

Start 5m right of Gollum. Climb up carefully to a large undercling in a roofleft. From here, clip the piton (with in situ thread) and pull through. Under the roof walk left to finsh as for Gollum.

Ascend the arete’s left to secure a position on the inclined ledge. Proceed by traversing left across the face to access a series of delicate pockets; power up to finish from here.

This climb features slender and intricate movements. Begin by executing a difficult mantel onto the first ledge, then delicately navigate upward to conclude the climb to the right of the tree stump.
