Yorkshire 8b Sport route 8a 1

A bit tongue-in-cheek. Australian climber Geoff Weigand visiting Yorkshire at the time insisted that all the f8a+ routes in Yorkshire were in fact f8b. The fact that Weigand had never climbed f8b had nothing to do with it. Things being what they are, we all know that routes in the Peak are much harder than their counterparts in Yorkshire, hence Yorkshire F8b was in fact only F8a+! [1]

Named after or in honour of Ian's grandfather who was a ‘ropeman’ or Y Rhaffwr in the quarries. One of the more dangerous jobs requiring men to descend rope via classic abseiling method (i.e. no harnesses) with massive pry-bars to lever slate of ledges. [1]
