From the editorial notes in the Climbers' Club journal (1904)
BOTTERIL'S CLIMB.—Some climbers who made an attempt on 'Botteril's Climb,' Scawfell, most strongly advise that it be left alone. It is impossible to belay or assist the leader in any way. If, however, anyone wishes to try it with a rope from above (and preferably from below as well to prevent a swing out on the face), this may be done by letting 100 ft. down from a grass platform at the top of the great slab, and a little below the pinnacle on the 'Keswick Brothers' Climb.'
