<p>A psychological breakthrough hailed at the time as one of the most difficult in the UK. Whilst clearly a step-up from the Brown-Whillans era, with the benefit of hindsight, there were already a number of harder routes by the time of its first ascent. Nonetheless it possessed a considerable cachet until attaining trade-route status by the mid-1980s. </p>
