Climbs

A right hand finish to The Weatherman.

Ron Fawcett's free ascent of this route marked the start of the change of Raven Tor from an aid climbing crag to a free climbing crag.

This problem had previously been climbed in 2010 and 2012, but as the sit had been climbed it was not considered an independent line. After a hold broke on Satan i Helvete in December 2013 the the assis has not been repeated, however Oriane Bertone managed to re-climb the low start in 2020.

In December 2013 a hold broke making the problem harder.

'Over the Moors' guidebook:

One of Dougie Hall's legacies from the 80s, climbed without mats. Probably the hardest technical accomplishment of its time. This masterpiece sits quietly at the back of the quarry like a princess in a greasy spoon.

Originally graded 8c, now considered to be 8c+.

There is a variation out left that bypasses the font 8A crux sequence and makes the route ‘only’ 8c (the grade it was originally given).

Initially climbed with side runners at E5 and called Against All Odds. Gareth Parry was the first to solo it and restored the route's working name.

Silence was established by Adam Ondra in 2017. It was the first route to be graded 9c and is still a contender for the hardest sport climb in the world. Bolted by Ondra and originally dubbed Project Hard, it features a notoriously strange boulder problem crux with feet-first jamming through a slopey crack. Ondra rated this section alone 8C, whilst Will Bosi and Stefano Ghisolfi thought 8C+ was more appropriate.

Bosi and Stefano Ghisolfi have put serious time into trying to repeat the route, with both climbers linking the crux section.

One of the last great problems on grit. Tried by Ben Moon , Steve McClure and Ned Feehally before Tyler Landman made the first ascent. Hard and scary!

Unlikely to have been repeated since the loss of pebbles around 2002/3.
