The first ascent was televised live on ITV World of Sport, an early example of the Bonington's entrepreneurial skills in interesting British mainstream media in climbing. The route was named after the channel's popular soap-opera. ### References [1] [https://www.mntnfilm.com/en/film/coronation-street-cheddar-gorge-1965](https://www.mntnfilm.com/en/film/coronation-street-cheddar-gorge-1965)

Before
Wallasey-born rock climber, alpinist, and bonne viveur. Rouse cut his teeth on Cheshire sandstone and in North Wales with cutting-edge ascents on rock in the late-1960s and early 1970s. Soloing close to the highest standards on rock was a prevailing ethos of the time and Rouse was part of a group that pursued this including [Alan Richard McHardy](/climber/2163/alan-richard-mchardy) and [Eric Jones](/climber/2433/eric-jones). Whilst studying for a BSc in Mathematics at Cambridge University he developed an interest in winter climbing and Alpinism. Later in life he focused on expeditions and was an unofficial inspiration to and ringleader of the post-[Bonington](/climber/729/chris-bonington) generation of UK alpinists before his death on K2 in 1986.

The obvious 'last great problem' of North Wales at the time of the first ascent, it had already been named by [John Menlove Edwards](/climber/1072/john-menlove-edwards). By 1961 it was regarded as a trade route. Climbed free by 1968, FFA by persons unknown. Brown's piton above the niche survived until July 2024. ### References [1] [https://climbing-history.org/library/7288/llanberis-pass](https://climbing-history.org/library/7288/llanberis-pass) [2] [https://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/rock_talk/ron_moseley_and_left_wall-127598](https://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/rock_talk/ron_moseley_and_left_wall-127598) [3] [https://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crags/dinas_cromlech-4/cenotaph_corner-3195](https://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crags/dinas_cromlech-4/cenotaph_corner-3195)
