Fantasy route combos

Could be onto something here - ‘fantasy route combos’.

In a similar vein "Crags that would be amazing DWS venues" is a fun game to play. Anyone fancy building up the wcj dam a little?

Orchist at almscliff over a pool. Would obviously require a good scrittle filter and excellent heating.

My vote: Tuppence into Bricktop into Premonition roof into the Bat route headwall with decent-but-not-super-chill knees in between... My oh my.

It would be a bit easier, but I imagine The Groove would be improved by starting up Consenting instead of Something Stupid. If someone chiseled out SS a bit would anybody miss it?
Same goes for Bat Route starting up Seventh Aardvark which is toss.

I think you understood it very well. Is there a good belay whence one route stscks onto the other, or is it a full 100m pitch?? Might want some skinny ropes for the latter.

Ha I thought that when I tried Seventh Aardvark a while ago, amazed at people's persistence in climbing such a shite route repeatedly to access the stuff above. The upper bit of Bat Route must be really flipping good!

Les Nouvelles Plantations du Christ in Tarn into Colisevm in Rodellar would be a nice 90 meter long 8a+, assuming you could handle the ropedrag on top. Not so much drag from the first 50m, so that is always something.

No belay, of course, as per the sports routes (though now I think about it, I presume there's some gear on the easy ground at the top of Face Mecca?).

What amazing routes those would be!

Good game, thread split?

My global combo would be Mirage (Ceuse) into Invisible Fist (Taipan) for a wild dyno finish.

Trying to think up an Avon version...

Why not Mirage (Ceuse) into Taipan (Ceuse) for a wild dyno finish.

That was the essence of the ramp challenge. All the started routes, right to left, finishing up tour de France. If you ignore the a38, and the fact it's not actually a multi pitch, it's the best multi pitch route in the world. E3, e2, E3, e4, e5, e6, e5, e2, e4, e6, e4, e6 or something like that.

I fell off the last move of tour de France when Charlie and I tried it. Never went back.

Every face route at Harmer's stacked atop each other in strict ascending grade order with perfect cam breaks where the routes join....

...and an entire bath of Climb On at the top.

Quite. A38 is a bit off-route, albeit a quality little pitch. (March 89  ;) )

Was saying just the other day, I miss climbing in Avon.
