UKC Logbook - Martin’s 1980’s Ticklist

Contributed by jc_lister Aug/23 - This public ticklist has been seen 603 times

A collection of climbs for me to do to follow in my old man’s footsteps. Most of these were done between 1982 and 1985, just a few years before I was born, some with my mum in tow, others with my uncle or family friends who I’ve know or names I’ve heard.

Climbs picked out from the notes he left in his original guidebooks; a list of which is below.

Guidebooks taken from:
• BMC Peak Stanage Millstone 1983 edition
• A Climber’s Guide to Pontesford Rocks 1977 edition
• Lundy Rock Climbs 1985 edition
• Climbers Guide to North Wales Tremadog 1983 edition
• Clwyd Limestone 1983 edition
• Snowdonia Rock Climbs 1982 edition
