In reply to Owen W-G: Bloodhound at Gouther - 38m of pure joy!

In reply to Owen W-G:

In Scotland The Bug (better than the Pillar IMO) and Geriatrics spring to mind.

In reply to Owen W-G:

I'll be following this one!

South West - Out Of The Blue at Lower Sharpnose

N. Wales - Vector and Quartz Icicle (Loved it though I can see i might be wrong)

Ticklist to follow?

In reply to richardr:

Vector in one pitch ???

In reply to Owen W-G:

NORTHERN ENGERLAND
Mandarin
Rhododendron Buttress
Golden Tower
End of Time
Cracked Actor

In reply to Owen W-G:
First Blood at St Govan's East is a class above any of your other Pembroke offerings (many of which are only E1 anyway *runs*)

In reply to Liam Ingram:

Would agree re the Bug.

In reply to Owen W-G:

Scratch the question mark from Desolation Row - it's the nuts.

In reply to Owen W-G:

Lady Jane, Aonach Dubh.

In reply to Gordon Stainforth:

Point taken. Got carried away and just thought of my favourite E2's.

In reply to AJM:

me too

+ Deep Space, Lucky Strike

In reply to Owen W-G:

How about some from North Pembroke?:

Uncertain Smile, Craig Caerfai
Stingray, Carreg y Barcud


I was trying to think of some more on Cornish granite; the two that spring to mind are both at Sennen; Delilah and Golva

In reply to Owen W-G:

Northumberland Wall, Klondyke Wall, Sandy Crack? One of these should be in it.

In reply to andi turner: Northumberland Wall is excellent but it is 2 pitches.

In reply to Owen W-G: Pillar Front at Eastby is awesome

In reply to Owen W-G:

Worth adding Neptune at Dalbeg, Lewis, and Arial on Loch Maree Crag (maybe E3 though?) for Scotland.

In reply to Mark Collins:

Looks like my wishlist for this year. If I get them all ticked I'll have had a good one!

Maybe also add Boadicea.

In reply to Owen W-G:

Why single pitch BTW? The Strand's two unless you have a very long rope or only do the easy pitch!

Suicide Wall Route 1 has to be better than Aardvark, anyway (sorry Al).

Yes but the Strand's easy pitch is E2

I quite like Wuthering on Stanage, why not add that.

Presumably you should add Bow Wall on Bosigran too though I can't really vouch for it having been defeated by the crux a few years back

In reply to Dave Garnett:


why why why?

In reply to Owen W-G: I would scrap regent st and possibly ffe personally, but then I had a bad time on the latter.
Remove the ?s from fern hill, scoop wall and wombat - all awesome - especially wombat.

Im not sure id include out of the blue...it is good tho and the only day ive spent on the culm so difficult for to judge.

In reply to Owen W-G:
Oh, on peak lime id also add armageddon or flakes direct - both are superb long single pitches.
There must be more in the lakes...

In reply to Owen W-G:

Buccaneer is the worst route ever to get a star, let alone 3. It also has two wretched pitches.

I'd add Zulu at Wyndcliffe

In reply to Martin Haworth:

Eh? Since when?

In reply to Owen W-G:

Lakes - Fastburn, Equus, possibly Aphasia.

In reply to andi turner:

There's a couple of Northumberland Walls. The one at Diabaig is 2 pitches and 70 metres.

In reply to Owen W-G: slate?? last tango

In reply to Owen W-G:

New Horizons 2 - Would make a good addition to the West Country Section.

All the other climbs in the West Country you've picked are delicate slabs

In reply to Morgan Woods:

Well, I agree that we're a little constrained by the odd single pitch restriction, but I think they are both classics. Delilah is balancy and technical and Golva is slightly more combative!

In reply to Dave Garnett:

In reply to Owen W-G: Pull my Daisy? Or was that left off for a specific reason?

In reply to Martin Haworth:
You're doing it wrong

Andi is talking about Northumberland Wall in Northumberland, not Scotland!
I'd agree with all his suggestions in the NE.

In reply to Owen W-G:

Is (Norn) Ireland allowed? If so there are a few Fair Head mega-pitches you ought to have.

In reply to Dave Garnett:

Thanks, exactly the sort of information I was looking for, as opposed to some reference to a Tom Jones song :p

In reply to Morgan Woods:

Sorry, I missed the why, why, why reference too!

+1 for Pull My Daisy, German Schoolgirl too on slate.

Last Tango down to E1 now iirc.

In reply to Owen W-G:

Lakes: Gillette Direct

NYMoors: Mongol, Satchmo (might just be hard E1)

Yorks Grit: Earl Buttress?

In reply to Owen W-G: neptune, dalbeg ..the pillar, diabaig.. geriatrics, shiegra ...best ive done in scotland !

In reply to Owen W-G:

Lakes Saxon
