After doing a few of the famous off-width routes at Brimham recently and really enjoying them I have realised there's a quite a bit of technique that I need to practice. After finding Desperation Crack pretty hard but doable I was utterly shut down by Bog Crack.

Any suggestions for off-width boulders to go have a look at?

You should get on Born Again (f7A+) at Brimham it's a real fight if you only jam your way up it. Think it gets 7b in most guides 👍

As well as the established "Dirty Dozen" list ive added a "Dirty Dozen More" tick list for Brimham with the grades between VD - E3

If your ever up in Northumberland I recommend Cowboy Up! (f7A+) Its actually one I still need to go back to after falling out from the top.

Are most of those a bit hard?( apart from the v diff to e3 list).

IMminimalE boulder grades for lower  E grade routes are embarrassing low, like 5 something or whatever.

(I only have 3 grades for bouldering, can do ,cant do ,dare not go higher.)

Edit, might have been better if I had just asked what boulder grade are Bog and Desperation .

Done 5!!!

Bog crack is heinous, and also most of the time inaccesible due to the eponymous bog just in front of it. Which usually comes as an enormous relief to anyone who has mentioned an urge to do it.

Both way too high to sensibly boulder

In the Dirty Dozen list theres Tube Break at E3 and Gigglin Crack at E6 which are the 2 hardest, the majority are under E1 however.

Twinking Crack (E1 5b)  and Quad Crack (E3 5c) in the Yorkshire Dale's are worth hunting out, being limestone they are not too abrasive. 

Theres Hull and High Water (6c) as well for something a bit different as its bolted!

Not sure how it managed to ever be graded 7a+ or 7b as the sit doesn't really add any difficulty to the VS stand start

Oh that Born Again looks suitably heinous! Great stuff, cheers.
