Looking at a description it keeps talking about PR. What does that mean exactly?

In reply to squicky:

I would say so
Thread runner abbreviated to TR
Bolt runner abbreviated to BR

In reply to squicky:

'Peg runner' (as opposed to 'PA' - peg for aid.)

What century guidebook are you reading?

In reply to squicky:

peg runner

In reply to squicky:

Proportional Representation. No, hang on a minute it's Public Relations. No, no it's definitely Peg Runner. Hold up, Press Release ...I'm reliably informed it means Puerto Rico

In reply to squicky:

What was the route?

In reply to squicky:
Peg Runner. PB is peg belay. Be careful reading the guidebook intro though, some guides also say peg - one means it's in situ, the other means you have to place it yourself.

Well it might be if this was a political forum - oh, wait a minute...

In reply to squicky:

A route in the Gower on Three Cliffs Bay so probably end of last century! Greasy tidal sea route with two pegs of protection.... Might give that a miss.

The Steal (E4 6a)

In reply to squicky:

On a sea cliff it stands for partly rusty.

In reply to cwarby:

Probably Rotten

In reply to squicky:
Medics would use PR to refer to a rectal examination. Something to do with pegging perhaps?

:-o

edit: probably don't google either of those

In reply to squicky:

They are both rusty and need replacing. They are easy to spot by the horrible rust streaks on the rock.

Or alternatively if it's an old guidebook, you may be wearing them
