In reply to TobyA:
In a similar vein but not really circular as the OP requested and a little guidebook-nerdy ...
It was in the curiously-named 2-volume Wye Valley Limestone guide from 1999 (which actually covered Chee Dale, Raven Tor and Water-cum-Jolly and had nothing to do with the Wye Valley in the southwest). At the last minute, this guide was split into 2-volumes after the huge Lancashire brick published earlier in the year was heavily criticised. Vol 1 contained the routes for taking to the crag, and Vol 2 contained the FAs and history for bed-side reading.
Unfortunately, there was quite a lot of crucial information included in the FA descriptions. For example Theology (7c) was nicely described in the routes book but in the history book the FA listing mentioned that holds had fallen off and the route had never been reclimbed (probably still hasn't). This particular omission was carried over to the Peak Limestone North 2015 guide which omitted the FA information altogether and then stuck the north history into volume 2 - Peak Limestone South so you still needed 2 volumes to find out that this route was unclimbable!
Having said that I never really figured out why such crucial information would have been hidden in the FA lists anyway! I have always thought it is far better to have a single entry for a route that gives you everything you need to know about it rather than having to check the FA list (even in the same volume) to see if there might be extra crucial information.
