Good to see this, described in different guidebooks as "inscrutable" and "an enigma", now getting regular attention. Whatever the mystery behind the first ascent the line looks magnificent. I thought Bristol Unillustrated was a fantastic little route in a similarly exposed position, and it was always effectively a sport route. That was a long time ago and it's probably in a state of disrepair, but it would be well worth resurrecting.

Another suggestion what about heading south to Wharncliffe? Kobe at 8a looks like a good problem in the videos I have seen (I haven't seen it in real life...)
In other Avon news, Unknown Pleasures seems to be falling down

Kobe at 8a looks like a good problem in the videos I have seen (I haven't seen it in real life...)Very good and probably reasonable for the grade... if you're tall. For an average height climber it's probably a hard 8a or harder. Shorties need not apply.
If you're 'just' after the sub 24 round, probably closer to 8a/+ I would say. The limiting factor for a decent fell runner is probably the logistics and committing to doing it, so maybe a trad grade is more appropriate?!

Keen but not mental, just committed. Based on receding ambitions and helping out a few times. Less than 3mph, just a lot of it

When I last looked very few over 60 year olds had done the BG and the oldest was 66. Isnt this more like E6/7?
