Anyone know who did the second ascent? Redhead? Dawes claims 4th ascent for Nick Dixon and 5th for himself in his book. Seems a bit strange that it had three ascents in a summer, then none for 5 years.
I feel like Pete Livesey would be a candidate.
I've had a look through some copies of Mountain mag from around the time but haven't found any leads. My collection is a bit incomplete around there though so could just be missing the relevant issues.
I've asked over on UKB https://ukbouldering.com/threads/historical-nuggets.33869/post-713210. Also had a look at the history section of the 1981 guide to see if there are any clues in there, but no clues in there.
