Is there a list of all the severe climbs in the Peak?

In reply to minus273degrees:

That's a lot of routes. The best ones can be found in the graded lists of the BMC guides but that's still a lot of routes. A good selection can be found in the Rockfax graded
Iists in the Eastern grit, Western grit and Limestone books. A whole list, and I did have one a while back, will include a lot of dross and probably 1000+ routes.

I know its a lot but just for the sake of it more then anything (and to prove its probably not possible to climb them all)

use the advance search here gives you the ones on the rock-fax data base

I'll see if I can dig out my old notes, Offwidth probably has the info more readily to hand. Somewhere I have all the sub-hvs peak routes listed, as for a while I was trying to tick the peak up to HVS, got about 40% done before realising it wasn't going to happen!

In reply to minus273degrees:

No; there aren't any. Come to Yorkshire.

In reply to minus273degrees:

Just totted up the Gritstone severes from the current BMC guides, that's Grades of MS, S, S4a etc.

There are +-1044 Severe graded grit routes. I've done 42% of those, and many of the remainder are unclimbably vegetated, prohibited access etc. Its not a list, its not even comprehensive as some crags are not in the books (Torside Clough or Bottoms Quarry anyone?) And I dont have the stamina for the Limestone yet! But it gives an idea of the amount of Severes in the Peak.

In reply to DerwentDiluted:

I don't have a list I'm afraid. There is of course lots of useful resource on severe climbs, past and present, on the 'Offwidth' site.
