Before
First climbed by [Johnny Dawes](/climber/561/johnny-dawes) onsight with no pads and above a worse landing than exists today.
The route is now typically highballed above a big stack of pads at about 7A.
After
First climbed by [Gabe Regan](/climber/1600/gabe-regan) onsight in 1986 with no pads and above a worse landing than exists today.

Before
Climbed onsight solo in spring 1986.
Prior to Regan’s ascent [Jonny Woodward](/climber/536/jonny-woodward) had apparently told [John Allen](/climber/546/john-allen) he had done it, perhaps as a wind-up. The claim was later retracted. [1]

> I was on my [way] back to London with some of the NLMC we stopped off at Black Rock, because they wanted to do Demon Rib. I wandered around the corner and noticed the runnel. Couldn’t resist trying to get on it. Once on it I noticed what I thought were old brush marks, so started padding up them. When I was about half way up the other lads appeared and asked what it was. I said I had no idea and wasn't sure if there were actually any holds higher up. [Mark Lynden](/climber/2059/mark-lynden) ran to the top with a rope just in case. Well there were enough luckily. A week or so later I made a note in the book at Stoney to say I’d done it but didn't know if it was new or not. A while later [John Allen](/climber/546/john-allen) told me I'd done the first ascent of Velvet Silence, he'd probably had his eye on it. I had no idea what he was talking about, so he explained what he knew about it. I never claimed it, graded or named it but I did at least actually climb it.[1]

The BMC ‘Froggatt to Black Rocks’ guide has an excerpt from Dawes’s guidebook, listing the last great problems on grit. They include the lines that would become [Gaia](/climb/585/gaia), [End of the Affair](/climb/586/end-of-the-affair) and [Dharma](/climb/5250/dharma). Amongst the is the ‘slab right of [Elder Crack](/climb/2907/elder-crack)’. The route is ticked but no further details are shown.

Regan reported the climb some time after the ascent, after [Jonny Woodward](/climber/536/jonny-woodward) told [John Allen](/climber/546/john-allen) he had done it. The claim was later retracted. [1]
Guidebooks give the first ascent date as c.1987, however, [Johnny Dawes](/climber/561/johnny-dawes)'s onsight ascent was in April 1986.
