Consolation Prize | E5 Trad climb at Wimberry Rocks

United Kingdom / England / Greater Manchester / Oldham

Originally called Bilberry Pie, Woodward asked to change the name two weeks after first claiming it. Presumably, the consolation prize was a top-rope for Nick Colton who had just witnessed the ascent.

Amazingly, the route is thought to have been top-roped by Jimmy Curtis and Barry Roberts way back in the mid '60s…
