Airlie Anderson Lead | worked Sep 1994
First female ascent.

The first British woman to climb E7.

A mattress was used to protect the moves up to the shot holes. A local climber confronted Airlie about it in the Broadfield pub in Sheffield, and Airlie was so incensed that she punched him so hard that she floored him.

Tom Randall Lead | worked 2011

The beginning of a long relationship with the route. Since making this ascent Tom and Pete Whittaker have made it a tradition to reclimb the route each year on their birthday, usually in some sort of fancy dress. For example, they've climbed it in fat suits, dressed as minions and even as a multipitch.
