Persian Dawn 8c+ Lead | worked 25th Apr 2021
First ascent.

I’ve named it after a book of stories written by my great-grandfather called 'Persian Dawns, Egyptian Nights' in keeping with the middle Eastern theme of some of the other routes at the Tor like Arabian Nights, Mecca, Haj [sic] and Kaa'bah.
