Climbs

Climb Name Type Grade # Ascents Recorded Notes Exclude Reason
Citrine Boulder problem 8B+ 3
Clarion Call Sport route 7a 3

One of the first routes in the UK to be bolted specifically for the purpose of free climbing. Bolt protected free routes had existed but were typically reliant on gear left behind by aid climbers (pegs, caving bolts etc.)

The route was subsequently de-bolted by Paul Mitchell and climbed at E6 by Nick Dixon. Following a more accepting attitude towards sport climbing it was re-bolted and has become a very popular route.
