If I’m to remain completely honest I didn’t touch the arête just stood up to the finger ledge off a pebble - there was a few climbers on the crag when we arrived already…as stated there was already quite a few hand pats of chalk on the rock when we arrived. Potentially had already been up some of the lines. I guess what it boils down to is either : It’s the individuals feelings to being the FA (I can only offer my apologies and a token beer)or Having there name in the guide book or UKC as a record of the name of the person who spent the time to find/climb it …for me I won’t put my name to the problem on UKC as I didn’t put any of the work in and unintentionally stepped on another man’s toes during my potterings. (Believe it or not - I do stand by quite a lot of crag ethics) Definitely the name stands and unless your going to attach the smizard tag to the FA it’d make more sense to put it to the name of the lad who cleaned it up and went back with the intentions. I did appreciate the good work of development in the area and so did the lads I was out with so for that thank you to those blokes.
Highly likely someone has been on it before us. Correct, that’s me. I can only place a debt to Will of one FA then and maybe purchase some reading glasses.
Righto glad that's all sorted! So just to make sure I've got this right, the name 'Anthology stands but Jack gets the FA. I'll put Will next to him on UKC and then everyones happy that this epic has a happy ending & we are all richer that the quarry's waking up in these parts again.Like I said there's quite a few chalk dabs along that run of walls down Lawrencefield, there's bound to be folks thinking that stuff is already done, such is the perils of cleaning & marking lines like this as there's a few tasty looking projects
Good effort. All look good additions to the circuit. Does anyone know what lines are to right of boonapi or anything about them - somewhat clean…can’t find record of them but I thought the centre line could be one of the best pure slabs I’ve seen in the peak.
Glad that's all sorted. My post was probably hasty and unhelpful so I apologise. Keep posting and keep seeking out new climbs.I went to Lawrencefield to try these problem and also to do some things I'd noticed a few years ago and never got round to trying. So thanks for inspiring me.I climbed the centre of the Antihistamine slab as mentioned in your original post but I thought it was too eliminate to be worth recording, probably 6c.This turned out to be an Iain Farrar 7a from sitting - with a rule to eliminate the triangular block to left when doing the sit start. I though 6c from standing. Getting off the ledge is tricky so worth figuring out what you're going to do. I went right and up but some grass pulling was involved, down through the holly is also possible. It's on the left of the Stonemason's Buttress, don't think it has a name.This is just to the right of the Gingerbread Slabs in a damp corner. Enjoyable as I had to climb it as a pure layback. I finished at some good holds and down climbed the crack. Also 6c. Tried to repeat for the camera but fell off. I'll call Anti-Gravity if it sticks.This is further on past the antihistamine. Also 6c. I was fairly certain this had been done before when I saw it a few years ago as the holds had been brushed. A top out might be possible but didn't seem justifiable on my own.
Interesting - still unsure that details the centre line I would presume moon goose is more to the right of the centre as I’d spotted a few edges there.The centre is just a bald slab with the odd tiny feature. Had a go but even getting established is tough.

Yes, I did this arete two or three years back. Recorded here as <no name yet> 6b - https://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,30671.msg610537.html#msg610537Not surprised you didn't spot my record given i forgot to mention it was an arete in the description!
Your name sounds fine to me.I got stood on the ledge then pulled up a harness and abbed off (my cleaning rope was still in place)
