2000 according to the significant ascents and dates in Revelations
Good knowledge, peak rock is pretty meticulously researched so 2001 seems likely (maybe Jerry/Grimer made a mistake in the Revelations route list?)
You need someone with an archive of old On The Edge magazines. It’ll have been reported in there within a month of it happening.

Given the March editions generally came out in mid-Feb, I'd hazard a guess at Jan 2001 or earlier. There's snow on the ground in the pictures, but it reads like that wasn't the day he actually did it, more likely the day he went back for the photos.
I’m sure I’m revelations it says he did it in the winter of 2000. Don’t know the date though
Any chance you could share these pics / articles? Would be cool to see.

Don’t know the date thoughJust flicking through it now, apparently he spent most of the winter of 1999 on it, but did it the following winter (page 206). It also reads"One of them, a climber called Stuart Littlefair, suggested a different sequence of foot moves... ...Two days later... ...I had done it."So come on Stu, when did you unlock The Ace for Jerry??
