Title says it all really. What's the most popular climb on all the UKC wishlists, both summer or winter. I imagine that Cenotaph Corner and Tower Ridge must be pretty close to the most popular climbs that people are wanting to do! But then again I could be mistaken. Obviously they are not the most climbed as that is most likely reserved for some popular easy route at Stanage or similar.

I can understand CC and DoWH's, even the Sloth. but Flying Buttress Direct?
I mean, do wishlists reflect climbs that might be possible one day, or is it an unfulfilled dream?

Not sure what you're getting at? Sloth and flying buttress direct are similar difficulty, style and quality. No?

I think that FBD is just one of those climbs that most climbers would aspire to do - it's such an imposing looking line. People always stop and look and generally walk away (god I know I always used to). It's also one that you can't help but stop and watch as soon as anyone gets on it - because it's gonna be entertaining whatever the outcome.
