In the same style as classic , extreme rock etc , how about the best of GB deep water soloing.

Ive not deep water soloed in Scotland: i'll add more routes when i get round to it
S grades: Il add S2s without much thought, but S3's only if they're incredible and better as dws than trad e.g. the Abyss makes it in, Caveman does not.

Missing routes:
- Babbacombe: Last of the Titans 6c+ ***
-Some of the Cornish stuff is not on ukc, crucially at Penally, Boscastle: King of the castle, Silver Studded blue
