Anna Taylor has become the first woman to complete a continuous round of all 83 routes that feature in 'Classic Rock', the iconic book by Ken Wilson. Carrying all of her kit with her, Anna cycled between each route, covering 1500 miles on the bike and climbing over 10,000 metres.
Surprisingly good reporting for somthing that probably seems quite mad to the non climbing community. Allthough now thinking about it is still a bit mad even within the climbing scene.
Firstly massive congrats to Anna, huge achievement doing a large number of the climbs in some pretty terrifyingly bad conditions.
As noted above, Jamie Fisher was the first to do this back in 1997 and myself in 2018. However we both did miss a route each (nesting birds), so really Anna is the first to get them all done, great effort!
