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.

Isn't that just Nesscliffe?

What about Magical Mystery Tour, into Rainbow Bridge, into Oz Wall Traverse, into White Rhino Tea?

Oh, hang on …

I hope you're including the full magical mystery tour in there (i.e. starting from at Mary's bay)! As far as I know this is still waiting for a continuous ascent.

I had a go a couple of years ago, got to the start of Rainbow Bridge and was completely destroyed though so went and got some chips instead :lol: Hardest part for me was you're in and out of the water a fair bit so I got pretty chilly by the end. Will be great when it gets done, best route in the UK?

Picking up on the Berry Head theme but not going sideways, Cod Tympani into Cod Tympani would be wild :yes:

That would be truly amazing!

As to rules, I feel routes should at least be on the same rock type, if not the same crag.

Bof. Everything longer than ten pitches is never worth it. The feet always start to hurt

What amazing routes those would be!

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

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...

So I reckon New Horizons II > Arms Race > Aardvark and the ferret.

Steady start up the steep crackline of NH, escalating into AR for similar but harder, by which time you're up at 50m or so. Clip the massive basketball hoop bolt at the top of AR and set off up Aardvark (unprotected slab) with the prospect of an absolute screamer, instead of just hitting the floor like usual.
