Will Stanton (Pre-2015 Hold Loss) | 8a Sport route at Cheddar Gorge

United Kingdom / England / Somerset / Cheddar
See also Will Stanton.
This is currently unclimbable. Typically this is because the climb existed in some state but then changed significantly (e.g. by losing holds) and is now considered a different climb.

One of the first of the grade in the area. Named after the Mendip caving pioneer, famous for his ability to stabilise underground passages with cement. Similar techniques were applied to make the route climbable.
