All climbs

Archangel is the quintessential gritstone arête: bold, insecure and utterly compelling.

Don Whillans top-roped the line in 1954, pinching the arête face-on and gripping it between his knees, which had rubber inner-tubes attached to them. In 1971 Ed Drummond made the first ascent, laybacking it on the left side. In 1985 he climbed it on the right side, naming it Don (E4).

Peak Rock:

Again and again, Ed Drummond found relatively reasonable solutions simply by experimenting. Even in 1972, Archangel wasn't as hard as many other gritstone routes. It was the concept of a blank unprotected arête and the sustained, technical laybacking required to subjugate it which had stopped earlier efforts. [1]

Niall Grimes:

Matthew, in chapter 14, tells the story of the disciples seeing Jesus walk on the lake:

28 Peter called to Him 'Lord, if it is you, tell me to come to you over the water'. 'Come' said Jesus.
29 Peter stepped down from the boat and walked over the water towards Jesus.
30 But when he saw the strength of the gale he was seized with fear; and beginning to sink, he cried 'Save me, Lord.'
31 Jesus at once reached out and caught hold of him, and said, 'Why did you hesitate? How little faith you have!'

This bible story serves well as an illustration of what you need to climb Archangel. It will confound the Book of Numbers. A man may well boulder 6c and redpoint 7c, but without faith he is no more likely to succeed than the man who has bouldered 5c, for without faith, even a rich man is more likely to get into the Kingdom of God than to climb Archangel. And you must have faith, not in the hand of god, but in thyself. [2]

Adam Long:

No holds on Archangel? What are you talking about? It’s the biggest hold on the crag! [3]

The route gets it's name from a scene in the film Snatch where the character Brick Top gives a speech where he defines the word Nemesis.

On the southern sandstone where the ethic is to top rope routes, due to the fragile nature of the rock.
