Before
A route with a troubled start to life. There was an oak tree at the bottom of the route, and after the first ascent it was found the tree had been chopped. Assuming it was first ascentionist [John Redhead](/climber/623/john-redhead) who had done the deed [Martin Boysen](/climber/1005/martin-boysen) wrote to Crags magazine:
> Dear Mr. Blockhead, I congratulate you on
'creating' the variation start to Desecration Crack -
a fine little route which I did with John Yates lost
year... It was a splendid tree and quite large to be
growing in so inhospitable a place... Perhaps chain
saws will soon be as small and convenient to carry
as a large Friend. [1]
However it transpired that Redhead was innocent when the culprits came forward. Chris Shorter and Dave Nottidge wrote in to Mountain magazine:
> We cut it down and, having done so, found we
could not get up the climb. So we enlisted the
services of John Redhead. When he saw what we
had done he was genuinely shocked... John is an
artist and a painter of natural life. His subsequent
silence on the matter was purely to protect us... It
was a foolish, thoughtless, and irresponsible action. [2]
