The prow at Black Rocks is one of the most impressive and uncompromising features on gritstone and for decades was regarded as a Last Great Problem. Attention in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s focused on the prow’s left arête, with climbing said to be around 8b. Whilst top-roping [Seb Grieve](/climber/547/seb-grieve) on the line, [Quentin Fisher](/climber/475/quentin-fisher) suggested trying to link to a line of better holds on the right arête. With a bit of beta refinement from [Dave Jones](/climber/2812/dave-jones), the line of Meshuga was unlocked and Seb made his ascent in 1997. It was perhaps the boldest route on gritstone at the time, comprising unpredictable 7c climbing, a long way above a terrible landing. The name comes from the Yiddish word for Insane. [1] Despite its boldness, it has become one of the most repeated E9s. The left arête remains unclimbed. [Jon Read](/climber/1146/jon-read): > Not much gear until all the hard climbing is completed (though initial pocket may take a F1.5). Instead, protection would appear to take the form of several futon mattresses and a wandering clutch of Frenchmen lashed down to prevent them from running off. The landing is possibly the worst on gritstone although Neil Gresham miraculously only got concussion when he fell off the crux slap. One other thing to think about to savour the full atmosphere is that The Promontory is a historically popular suicide spot. [2] ### References [1] ‘Peak Rock’, Vertebrate Publishing, 2013.

One of the eight ‘last great problem’ projects listed in the Derwent Grit guide. [1] [Jerry Moffatt](/climber/131/jerry-moffatt) did all the moves, [Johnny Dawes](/climber/561/johnny-dawes) top roped it in a oner, [Ron Fawcett](/climber/532/ron-fawcett) was hovering, but it was [Andy Pollitt](/climber/488/andy-pollitt) who tied into the sharp end, jumped through the crux and wobbled through to the top – narrowly avoiding a disastrous fall when he slipped on the final sloping ledges. > The route was first climbed on the 2nd of March 1988 by [Andy Pollitt](/climber/488/andy-pollitt) and graded E9. The pre-clipped 'hand-held' peg used on the first ascent was later discovered to have actually been placed with a 'hand-held' hammer. [2] The grade of a given ascent depends on the particular gear placements used. The first ascent and early repeats used a peg in a slot high on the left. Later repeats used a cam in a good slot at half height, though this requires a traverse to access. Some people have combined the cam and the pegs, some people have used neither! ### References [1] The others were [Dharma](/climb/5250/dharma), [Gaia](/climb/585/gaia), [End of the Affair](/climb/586/end-of-the-affair), [Kaluza Klein](/climb/635/kaluza-klein), [Soul Doubt](/climb/938/soul-doubt), [The Screaming Dream](/climb/751/screaming-dream) and [The Groove](/climb/1073/the-groove).
