In reply to Andy Hobson:
Mod – Dubhs Ridge Constantly interesting and varied including an exciting abseil.
Diff – C Ordinary, Dow Crag. Really pleasant all weather climb.
V.Diff – Fluted Columns, Almscliff. Historic route that has stood the test of time.
Mild Severe – Troutdale Pinnacle. Varied and photogenic.
Severe – Tophet Wall, Great Gable. Did it 40 years ago but still memorable!
Hard Severe – Parsons Chimney, Almscliff. Another historic grit classic.
Mild VS – Inverted V, Stanage. Got to have one from the Peak I suppose.
VS - F Route, Gimmer . Brilliant layback finish in a great position.
HVS - Arcturus/Golden Slipper combination. My first big hard route in the Lakes. (Arcturus had quite a reputation in those days.)
E1 - Dream of White Horses, Gogarth, Inspirational line, delightful moves.
E2 - The Strand – Best single pitch 5b in Britain?
E3 - Wall of Horrors, Almscliff. A tough test at this grade.
E4 - Fallen Angel, Pavey Ark. A total body pump but a compelling line.
E5 - Central Wall, Blue Scar. A great line up a superb limestone wall.
Sport Routes – Hard to think of anything memorable below 6a+: Could fill every other grade with Kalymnos classics but will try to be more wide ranging.
F6a+ - Wheels on Fire, Robin Proctor’s Scar. Outstanding quality in classic Yorkshire limestone landscape.
F6b - Hari Kiri, Kalymnos. Improbable line and grade amid dramatic scenery.
F6b+ - El Sol, Gandia. Compelling red wall that can’t be missed.
F6c - Directissima, Kilnsey, Brilliant line despite the polish.
F6c+ - Kashba, Sella. Steep bridging – keep believing and positive holds keep turning up.
F7a - Chnosi Family, Panorama Kalymnos. Every move is brilliant.
F7a+ - Clive’s Redoubt, Toix Sea Cliffs, big, big wall pitch with 3 superb cruxes
F7b - Gladiator, Kalymnos. Technical steep and varied. Took me lots of attempts.
F7b+ - Pursuit of Excellence, Trow Gill. Only one I’ve done, if I accept Rockfax grading!
