Actually, just found this:
GIMMER CRAG : 13/5/28. First ascent, H.S.G., G.B. and
Asterisk Route. B. Tyson (non-member).
This new climb lies to the left of the Ash Tree Slabs, and
starts level with the top of the big chockstone in the scree gully.
Fifteen feet of broken wall lead to a grassy ledge with a small
cairn and a belay. From here move to the right for six feet
on good holds, and then up and to the left slightly, to a good
grass ledge with a pointed belay seven feet above it. From
here the route is upwards and slightly to the right on a bilberry tufted
crack. Stance with belay seven feet above. Thence
straight up for about 30 feet to a small rock ledge. From the
left of the ledge, one goes straight up the wall above, landing
just to the right of a small ash tree. The last few feet from the
ledge are very severe and exposed, and should not be attempted
if the rock is at all damp. This pitch can be avoided by traversing
round the arete on the right. Rubbers advised.
So, FA of Asterisk was by: H. S. Gross, G. Basterfield and B. Tyson in 1928 - the same year as Gimmer Crack was led by A. B. Reynolds and G. G. Macphee. More here:
