A loose post-war group of young climbers from Bradford, never a formal club, who got together at West Yorkshire outcrops and made bold new routes, especially in the Lake District, in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Dennis Gray ranks them with the Creagh Dhu and the Rock and Ice as the working-class groups that dominated British climbing after the Second World War. Most had moved away by about 1956. [1] [2]
