Wee Doris E4 | Climbing History

Climber	Style	Ascent Date
Tom Proctor	Lead	1967
First ascent.
Some aid.
Alan Rouse	Lead	1971
First ascent.
Some sources report this as the first free ascent but it is unclear whether Rouse managed to reduce the amount of aid used. However, in Rocksport Magazine April/May 1971, it was stated that Rouse and Alan (Richard) McHardy had both repeated Wee Doris, but had been unable to reduce the amount of aid used by Proctor.
