True North is regarded as one of the best hard sport climbs in the UK, and is a must-do tick for climbers operating at this level (don't all rush at once...). It takes a line on the impressively steep North Buttress of Kilnsey, and is considered a power-endurance route. It was famously climbed in a lightening fast two hour session by Lancashire climber Ian Vickers, when he was on top form some years ago.

Mecca Extension is the continuation to the classic 8b+ of Mecca at Raven Tor. and is considered to be an 8a+ stacked on top of what is already a very hard 8b+. It was first climbed by Steve McClure back in the late 1990's.
