Sorry to impose, but does somebody have a Glencoe guidebook handy, and could enlighten me as to the correct date of the first ascent of Gone with the Wind on Creag A Bhancair? Thanks, Grant

June 1984 according to the SMC guide.

Thanks, for some reason I thought it was ‘82. If it was ‘84, was it before or after the first ascent of Romantic Reality?

Romantic Reality is down as May 1984. Do you think one of them is wrong?

Worth noting that both these climbs only have month and year associated with them while many of the other climbs have a specific date. This suggests that they may well be guesses/approximations.... so perhaps not impossible that GWTW was marginally earlier.

The only thing is that Cubby did them both and (probably) also wrote that section in the guide. So you would expect them to be correct.
