In reply to sutty:
Mississippi Buttress – not as bad as some of the rest, I’d say. Given rubbers and a dry day, of course.
Don’t think I know this Tyron, and I certainly don’t know Anglezarke, except by reputation. Quarries don’t count, really – not proper grit.
I had a day soloing VSs at Brimham once, although whether it encompassed Rough Wall or Central Crack I can’t recall. There’s one awesome quite high thrutchy affair I ran away from, which might very plausibly be called Central Crack, but I think that was HVS. Is Central Crack down and right of Left Wall on a wall with three VS cracks on it? If so I think I did it – making the usual point of brushing aside a horde of student topropers, IIRC, and it was fine.
Still looking for anyone who’s soloed Green Crack, or even led it for that matter? (actually I think Chris Craggs has)
And actually, mention of The Vixen reminds me of another one at that crag which was graded VS in more austere days, though I doubt it is any more, called something like Sly Buttress Mantelshelf. According to my diary I once did this, although when I tried it again I couldn’t imagine how.
Bald Pate’s E2 these days, I think? Don’t know about Transparent Wall. Ilkley is not a good venue for soloing, really – too high and in the case of Rocky Valley too damned rocky also.
