15. Plus attempted another (Great Gully on Craig y Ysfa in the rain). I'm getting less inspired by any of them that aren't big mountain routes now though.

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com: Not me. Done 25 and a1/2.
My Hard Rock total is even worse 12, although my Extreme Rock total of 7 is possibly more encouraging.

34
Done all Peak, Yorkshire, and Cornwall, and about half of Wales and 1/3 of Lakes. Not started Scotland yet!
Also did Great Gully in the rain - interesting!
Anyone know if Climber's Club Original is going to have an alternative after the rockfall, or if there's still a line there, albeit at a different grade?

In reply to Doug: I've done 26, as far as I can recall. Never attempted to deliberately tick them, though.
In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com:
15 - 9 in the peak (predictable), 3 in the south west, 2 in Wales and 1 in Scotland, but suprisingly none in the Lakes. Mind you, it does always rain when I'm up there

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com: 3 I think. Done Little Chamonix, Powder Monkey Parade, and I think it was Milestone Direct Route I did on Milestone buttress, but could be mistaken (we just took an easy looking line).
Oh, and I've failed to get over the crux of Topsail on a few occassions.

Done more than I thought, 44.
Done about a third of hard rock as well at last count, not looked at extreme rock but likely to be low numbers.
Some that I should have got up were missed due to being in Scotland and down south, as only climbed at Avon and Cheddar and Goblins Combe I think.

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com: Done 7 of those.
In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com: 28 all but great gully in wales, and a few of the ticks in scotland the routes were in winter conditions! Does that count?

Also completed 29 in Hard rock (although the demise of Deer Bield makes completing the tickathon somewhat harder now)
Hopefully Classic rock should all still be possible - Im not a ticker I just like to get good value from the books I buy!!

More importantly though, every one of them has been an absolutely cracking outing!

In reply to GrahamD: didn't Jamie Fisher do them all on one trip cycling between them all?
In reply to crossdressingrodney:
There is a difference between 'still manage' and wanting to do a route. There is one route on the list that I may do, it is only co-incidental that it is in Classic Rock.
I only do routes that I think are worthwhile, I don't need some to point me out good routes.

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com: I think I've done 24. Did Mitre Ridge itself, not CC, so sadly that doesnt count and I think I've done all the Peak Gritstone ones, although couldn't say for sure it's all a bit blurry in the mists of time. Hope to get the rest of the scotland ones ticked this year. Done none of the Lakes ones.

20 done. More than I thought
Only out of the 55 on Bobs site tho.

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com: I'd love to setup a shared ticklist system in the UKC logbooks, so someone can build a ticklist, say "Classic Rock", or "Peak Jamming Cracks", etc. then people can tick the ones they've done and you can see how many more you've got left, and who has finished all of them.

That cheers me up a bit - my 34 were done in under 18 months. Then again, I know the hardest / most inaccessible / most weather dependent are still to go!

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com: I think there is something sad about wanting to tick of lists composed by others, such as Classic Rock and the Munros.
I've done quite a bit of Classic Rock and some of Cold Climbs but not purposefully. There are loads better options and I might be sad but there are Munros I would go out of my way not to do so that I can honestly say I haven't done the Munros. The list of Munros is utterly stupid.

Have any women at all replied to this post? Is ticking other people's lists a boys thing?
I have no idea of how many I have done as I don't keep any record of my climbs - not even a tick in my guidebook! I purposefully never did, thinking that I could forget that I had done them in the first place and then redo them as though they were new climbs, all over again! yippeee!!!!

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com: Interestngly, even as an old fart, I think I have done more Extreme Rock ticks than Hard Rock or Classic Rock, its not been deliberate its an accident.
My tick book is 100 Best Limestone climbs by Chris Craggs, I have done 65 of the 100, and I can still gain on this because I have by-passed quite a few of the easier ones. At my age I am never going to tick it all now, but its a great tick book if you can get your hands on it.

A feeble 5 from classic and 4 from hard rock. Only a couple of hunderd to go.
In reply to Caralynr: I don't see it as a gender thing, I think its natural to weigh up your progress in a sport if you are commited to it, if you dont give a 'f', and thats a perfectly valid standpoint too, then you won't bother with ticking and recording your progress.
Its a bit like running in races and never bothering about your times. Thats fine, but it infers your ambition lies in other directions which is ok, it might be your job (mine never was) or it could be making a success of family life, maybe thats why my sporting ambitions always overlapped with my partners and my children. I dont see a problem with what is called 'Ticking', its just having goals in life. We may all choose different targets, some will choose the Wilson books, mine is the Craggs book others will just choose going through the grades in a guidebook, I see nothing wrong with this.
Equally I see nothing with not caring in the slightest, and just going out and enjoying climbing or walking or running for their own sake, providing you dont criticise people who take it just a bit more seriously.

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com:
39 but then you already knew that!
Out of those, only something like 8 were done "because they were in Classic Rock", that is I wouldn't have been likely to do them or visit those crags if the book didn't exist. The ones in the Peak were usually just done as part of a day on the crag and similarly for other parts of the country. These days, the Classic Rock routes are as much about grabbing something on an "off day".
As Ken's comments on the Needlesport website (or is it in the intro to Hard Rock?) make clear, the books are about getting people to go to somewhere new rather than just head to Stanage or wherever. There are definitely crags that I still want to visit - Carnmore for instance - and Hard Rock was definitely a factor in opening my eyes to that crag. However there are also crags and climbs that I'd like to go to that aren't in any of the series: The nose of Sgurr an Fheidler (sp?); Stuff in Strath Dionard and so on.

Done 6 from the full listing, plus 2 or 3 routes from the compilations, & loads of the alternatives (what does that say?). Still looking forward to visiting more of my now local ones.
Surprisingly I've done 6 1/2 from Hard Rock (including Deer Bield), particularly pleased over one of them after a 20-odd year layoff. Just the one from ER, & seconded the crux pitch.

Aye, I met him (assuming of course its the same guy, although I can't imagine there could be two - he did Moonraker a few days before heading out to Lundy) very briefly before he went out there, I was hanging round in North Devon in the few days before that lot went out.
Do you know what Carl P who was on that trip is up to at the moment? I've tried emailing him, but since about October he seems to have dropped off the map entirely? - hasn't answered emails or texts. Mail me if so.......

Okay - Classic Rock trivia question. There are 81 routes in the book, 2 of which are missing from the graded list at the back.
First to name them both gets some sellotape to hold their specs together and a spotters guide to Class 180 locomotives.

In reply to lummox: It's not so pathetic if you have a reasonable number of the Scottish ones. I was quite pleased to see how many I had done.
In reply to TobyA: s`pose that`s true. Am still waiting for a nice weekend to amble in to Beinn a Bhuird. 2007 - the year of "bimbling holiday rock ".
24, mainly Wales and Peak - regular destinations. Scotland and South West - holiday destinations, that inevitably means there will be bad weather.
All ticked as a by-product of going climbing - I have never knowingly climbed a route because it is in CR, with the notable exception of Great Gully - a kind of route I would normally avoid like the plague and, as it turns out, justifiably avoid. Truly awful route.

Done all in England and Wales, plus those in Scotland except Cioch Nose, Long Climb, Long Crack, Archer Ridge, Crypt Route, the Chasm and the three Cobbler routes.
First was also my first lead - Flying Buttress in 1974. About time I ticked the rest - just need some good weather before the midges come!
