Ramshaw Crack E4 | Climbing History

Climber	Style	Ascent Date
Joe Brown	Lead	1964
Joe Brown	First ascent. 1 point of aid. One sling for aid. Brown managed to manoeuvre a big stone halfway up the crack from above and used this for aid to place a small chockstone higher in the crack as a runner. Above, it became a major test of crack technique with some desperate climbing round the lip of the roof which Brown overcame free. Despite the 'aid', Ramshaw Crack was probably the hardest gritstone crack of the 1960s. [1] References [1] 'Peak Rock', Vertebrate Publishing, 2013
Gabe Regan	Lead \| worked	1977
Gabe Regan	First free ascent.
