On the ever popular Cromlech Boulders, Adam Hocking climbed the obvious line right of Diesel Power. Reluctantly breaking his habit of grading everything V9/Font 7c, he suggested that it was probably worth V11/Font 8a. Starting from the slopey ramp, a line of bad crimps, nubbins and generally poor holds leads up to the lip of the steepness. This line has some attention from various people (including Johnny Dawes) over the years.

James Pearson’s new problem left of Diesel Power has seen a slew of quick repeats, including 2 flashes from Hock and Dave Noden. The consensus is that it is probably V7/8/Font 7a+/b, rather than the mooted V11/Font 8a suggested by James. James is away in Thailand at the moment, so it has not been possible to check if there is a mix up over the exact line taken.
