Chew Valley Developments

So me...from Red Tips Climbing and a guy called Lee Robinson from Beta Guides teamed up and headed to Chew Valley in the Peak District last Sunday to hopefully find some new boulders, we ended up at The Standing Stones. There is a massive pile of boulders below the crag which all looked good, from a distance, most were not as big and some were as good as they looked but just had very bad landings.

Here as some problems that we put up, if you know that they have been done before please email me.

Mine - Popcorn Prow - Font 6a & Dredger Lefthand - Font 7a/7a+ Video at the bottom of the post- That climbs an E2 6b arete, but on the lefthand side instead of the righthand side, this may not seem like much but it does makes a big difference!

Lee's - Red Tips - Font 5+/6a, Pinchy The Lobster - Font 7a & also The Moors Tiger, its around Font 6b is you find the left hand crimp, if you dont and do it the long way which is cupping the arete with your right hand and pressing off with your left its at least Font 6c, maybe 6c+.
