First ascent.

Some sources report this as the first free ascent but it is unclear whether Rouse managed to reduce the amount of aid used.

However, in Rocksport Magazine April/May 1971, it was stated that Rouse and Alan (Richard) McHardy had both repeated Wee Doris, but had been unable to reduce the amount of aid used by Proctor. [1]
