Climber Style Ascent Date Suggested Grade
Sean Myles Lead | worked 8th May 1991 E8
First ascent. Pre-placed gear.

A seriously impressive ascent at a time when 8b+ sport routes were still big news.

Peak Rock:

Myles soloed up to clip the first good pegs (worth about E7) then traversed right and jumped off before his successful ascent. With the first gear pre-clipped it was felt to be about F8b.
