at the baldstones in the peak district there is a climb called "rays roof".it was done in '77 i think.ray jardine got the first asscent since then its only had 2 or 3 repeats.its a overhanging offwidth about 8 meters in total.we were talking about it this week saying U.S crack climbers would walk up it.so who is up for a challenge.
its graded e6 6c or 5.13a but its a hard one to grade.

I think I saw a video recently featuring this crack. There were all these guys falling all over it and in the end it defeated them all. It`s a roof offwidth which when it turns the lip you have to throw a leg way up and kinda climb it upside down. This of course presumes that it is the same crack.
