The Tippler (E1 5b)

FYI UKC/Rockfax, flicking through the new Eastern Grit today and the line for the Tippler and the E6 next to it have been switched on the topo.

Fortunately won't matter as you'd have to be really stupid to not twig the mistake from the route description, but thought it worth mentioning.

Wasn't Paranoid always E5? When did that get upgraded?

Hi John,

I agree, not E6, too safe. Maybe he means 9'o Clock Watershed?

cheers

In reply to John Roberts (JR):
The line swapped in error with Tippler is Paranoid. You can check current Rockfax grades by just looking at the route on the database (now E6). 'Popular demand' in this case is no votes on UKC and one vote for mid E5 on Rockfax so editorial views would be much more relevant.

From experience it's a bugger to spot such topo errors once they are committed... you really need fresh eyes.
