Hardest E1 ever? Trad climbing at Curbar!

The story of the man who got stuck on Stanage, so they cemented him in
Переглядів 1 тис.Рік тому
Today I bring to you the story of the man who got stuck on Stanage Edge in the Peak District. He climbed into a chimney and couldn't get back out. Legend has it that he is still here to this day, cemented in and hidden. He climbed up a chimney, got stuck and died. They couldn't remove his body as it was too tightly stuck, so they cemented him in.

    Nope. Everything is not bomber on grit. Please don't put cams and nuts behind VERY friable flakes as this can destroy the routes. On Czech sandstone metal chocks and cams are banned.

      Although the gear is low down its pretty bomber, so it still protects a decent chunk of the route, plus the thinking is I can run back belaying if she was to fall…. I guess a small chance of not hitting the ground is better than nothing!

    To put in perspective. Joe put this route up in 1948. On his feet nailed boots but probably plimsolls with socks over the top. His rope was likely made of hemp and simply tied round his waist with a bowline. Protective gear - slings over a spike or block. So nothing on this one. No chalk. It was probably green and greasy.
