<p>John Allen was a prolific and gifted climber who established a host of hard, classic routes on his local gritstone crags in the Peak District.</p>
<p>Lines that had been eyed up by many fell to this prodigious young talent. He climbed <a href="/climb/877" rel="noopener noreferrer">Old Friends</a> (E4) when he was just 14 and continued adding quality new first ascents from there, such as <a href="/climb/878" rel="noopener noreferrer">Hairless Heart</a>, <a href="/climb/870" rel="noopener noreferrer">White Wand</a> (E5), <a href="/climb/879" rel="noopener noreferrer">Profit of Doom</a> (E4) and <a href="/climb/871" rel="noopener noreferrer">London Wall</a> (E5) which were climbed within a 2 week period at age 16.</p>
<p>From around 1977 to 1980, John lived in New Zealand where he established dozens of future classics [2]. He moved to Tahoe, USA, for 18 months (1981-82), climbing with <a href="/climber/722/john-bachar" rel="noopener noreferrer">John Bachar</a>, <a href="climber/728/john-long" rel="noopener noreferrer">John Long</a> and <a href="/climber/732/tony-yaniro" rel="noopener noreferrer">Tony Yaniro</a>. With Simon Horrox, he climbed <a href="/climb/990/the-nose" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Nose</a> in a day with no jumaring. [1] – the first time this had been achieved.</p>
<p>Shoulder surgery in early 1982 curtailed his output, but on return to the UK he began adding a plethora of high quality gritstone 'micro-routes' such as <a href="/climb/880" rel="noopener noreferrer">West Side Story</a> at <a href="/crag/1303" rel="noopener noreferrer">Burbage West</a>.</p>
<p>Although his enthusiasm for climbing waned in the '90s, he returned to it in the 2010s, developing mid-grade sport routes in the limestone quarries of the Peak District.</p>
<p>John sadly died in a climbing accident at <a href="/crag/33827/stoney-west" rel="noopener noreferrer">Stoney West</a> in 2020 [4]. He remains a revered and fondly remembered figure in British climbing.</p>
