Little Brown Jug VS | Climbing History

Climber	Style	Ascent Date
Peter Biven	Alternate Leads \| worked	1955
First ascent.
John Cleare: Doing his national service in Northumberland, he secured a 48 hour leave-pass and hitch-hiked 200 miles to his home at Leicester. Barrie [Biven] was waiting with his motor-bike and they rode 300 miles through the night into the W. By dawn and in a semi-trance they were already working upwards on a major virgin section of the Bosigran Face. The crux, at over 200ft, seemed impossible until Peter's questing hand slotted into a hidden hold. Little Brown Jug is a superb climb by any standard.
