Found this in our club journal from circa 1927 and though it might be of interest to some. The articles etc are on the website if you want more info.
Not convinced this is Green Crack Finish as I remember it. Thoughts?

Only a guess but is it the headwall above The Nose / Nose Direct?

Looks like South Cave area.

It's tetrapack crack in the south cave.

Dennis Gray suggested this was Ilkley and not Almscliffe. However, I can not identify which climb at Ilkley,

This is definitely Tetrapak Crack in the South Cave area of Almscliff.

Agree with the comment above and certainly not Green Crack which I climbed years ago and had the pleasure of bringing Frankland's grandson Johnny up a famous family route.
