In reply to Tom Randall - Lattice Training:

Birthday Groove - Curbar.

Good luck!

In reply to Tom Randall - Lattice Training:

Wasn't MAy 35 Ben Bransby?

In reply to climber34neil:

The original was climbed by JB (with a sling for one aid pint) then holds broke.

In reply to Offwidth:


Sounds more Don to me

In reply to Offwidth:

That's what I thought, then Ben did first ascent as it is now

In reply to Tom Randall - Lattice Training:

I had thought Fairy Steps was a Brown route. I seem to remember it credited to him in my guidebook c 1963 but my latest Stanage guidebook (2007) gives it to Alan Clarke and Les Gillott ?

In reply to Tom Randall - Lattice Training:

If Emerald with a Point of Aid is a Brown route, then should you look at other routes they did with some aid? Can't recall now, but, e.g., who did the partly aided F.A.s of Nectar and Goosey?

In reply to climber34neil:

Possibly a bit unfair having a route on the list which is now much harder then when JB did it

In reply to John Gillott:
Good point, considering that some of the aid was taken only so that the route could be cleaned on lead.

edit - in genral I mean, not sure if this was the case for the examples you gave.

In reply to Tom Randall - Lattice Training:
Does the wilf white, Joe Brown, Nat Allen route at Harthill quarry count??
also Swastika II at Yarncliffe

In reply to Tom Randall - Lattice Training:

Altar Crack and Crack One at Rivelin and Bilberry Crack at Bamford were climbed by Dick Brown.

There may be some others of his on your list - he was quite active around the same time as JB and DW.

In reply to John Gillott:



Goosey was John Gosling, hence the re-name.

In reply to Al Evans:

Thanks for the replies so far everyone. I think we will probably include the routes that were done with a point of aid by either man.

After all, can't be making this thing easy!

In reply to Tom Randall - Lattice Training:

Surely this isn't going to be an "in a day" challenge Tom?! That's 105 routes listed!

It's just that I'd heard rumours that you are human.

Besides now that the list is out in the public domain I'm sure it will be ticked off in no time (haha)

Good luck!!

In reply to Tom Randall - Lattice Training:

<predictable> Yeah but what have they done on grit? </predictable>

In reply to Tom Randall - Lattice Training:

Better climb Left Unconquerable at Stanage as well to be sure. Read somewhere that JB probably did the first lead ?

In reply to madasten:

I'm afraid it's even worse than that...

Thanks for the replies everyone. The big history man Graham Hoey has been a complete star in helping me and Pete out in getting everything sorted. Just a couple of prep days and I guess we can go for it!
