Contributed by The Ivanator Jan/16 - This public ticklist has been seen 5,003 times

An attempt to identify the best UK routes in the Rockfax "Orange Spot" zone of F5a - F6a+. Chosen following Forum discussion, and scouring the UKC logbooks/voting for gems. Quality has been the main criteria for the choices, but there is an attempt to achieve some geographical spread to the routes as well.
