Ron Fawcett was at the top of the UK climbing scene in the mid 70s and early 80s and one of the first professional climbers in the UK. He took up the mantel from climbers such as [Pete Livesey](/climber/533/pete-livesey) and helped cement the E5 and E6 grade in the UK. He also put up some of the early hard sport routes in the UK with lines such as [Sardine](/climb/532/sardine), [Body Machine](/climb/543/body-machine) and [The Prow](/climb/539/the-prow) at [Raven Tor](/crag/146/raven-tor). Ron famously climbed 100 extremes (i.e. routes graded E1 or harder on the British Trad grading scale) in a day in 1986 starting at [Froggatt](/crag/22) then going on to [Stanage](/crag/101), [Burbage](/crag/88) and finishing at [Curbar](/crag/21). This feat is even more impressive when you consider that Ron was not just picking the easiest routes available: [Downhill Racer (E4)](/climb/920), [Heartless Hare (E5)](/climb/921) and [Ulysses or Bust (E5)](/climb/922) feature among the hard routes that he climbed.

He also put up some of the early hard sport routes in the UK with lines such as <a href="/climb/532/sardine">Sardine</a>, <a href="/climb/543/body-machine">Body Machine</a> and <a href="/climb/539/the-prow">The Prow</a> at <a href="/crag/146/raven-tor">Raven Tor</a>.</p> <p>Ron famously climbed 100 extremes (i.e. routes graded E1 or harder on the British Trad grading scale) in a day in 1986 starting at <a href="/crag/22">Froggatt</a> then going on to <a href="/crag/101">Stanage</a>, <a href="/crag/88">Burbage</a> and finishing at <a href="/crag/21">Curbar</a>. This feat is even more impressive when you consider that Ron was not just picking the easiest routes available: <a href="/climb/920">Downhill Racer (E4)</a>, <a href="/climb/921">Heartless Hare (E5)</a> and <a href="/climb/922">Ulysses or Bust (E5)</a> feature among the hard routes that he climbed.
