Peak Area 2023 Xmas Quiz
November 06, 2023, 02:50:44 pm
Here's the quiz from the recent Peak AGM. Have at it.
The actual quiz also had a crossword for 10 points and a physical gear ID round for 9 points. Minus those there are 86 points available in total, 44 for lime, 42 for grit.

This is my first stab i.e. no cheating and no wild guesses, i.e. only ones that I'm fairly certain of.

L1 - Knockin On Heavens Door,
L3 - Avalanche, Kinder?
L5 :
         Cornice Chee - River
         Cornice WCJ - Welfare State
         Staden - Road?
L6 - draining of the lake at WCJ
L7 - Mikes Bike = Cheedale Cornice RHS
L8 - Floods at WCJ?
L11 - WCJ Cornice
L12 - Litton Mill
L13 - Moat Buttress
L14 - Its not Power Plant (and its  not the cornice? Or its Not Jean-Minh??)
G1 - DABC
G3 - Short Fat Bar Star, and it starts half way up the crag on the route to the right and traverses in
G4 -  One of them probably didn't use a bolt for protection on the first ascent. Not Plague, Not WSC, so um.. War of the Roses?
G9 - John Allen, Green Death
G10 - ??, Green Traverse (Dope on a Slope)
G11 - Chris Wright - Tier Drop
G12 - Ron Fawcett - Wrinkle Wall
G17 - Dave Pegg, MaDMAn
G19 - Marbelous, Mother of Pearl
G20 - Unzipping the Wild Physique
G21 - Hollybush Crack??

Ah yes. Was there a Chris Wright of that era who was red haired and looked a bit like Neil?

My favourite thread of the year. Was hoping to get there this year, but for a wedding.

L1 - Peaches, Nice n’ Sleazy for Gibson, struggling with a third (unless Golden Brown is a Peak Gibson route) - all the ones I can think of are Pembroke/Clywd.
L5  - Staden/Box, Dove Holes/Cricket, Blackwell Halt/Computers
G2 - Birdseye?
G3 - 3 Blind Mice, only snowballed?
G4 - Wall Street Crash, all the others still have their bolts, WSC has pegs now.
G12 - Fawcett, The Crease
G13 - Gresham, Equilibrium?
G14 - Toby Benham, Avoiding the Traitors
G16 - Pete Robins, something on Rivelin Needle (can’t remember the name, think it’s E6)
G17 - Dave Pegg, MaDMAn
G19 - Flight of Ideas

Lots of good answers so far. I'll post up a link to a version with all the answers in soon.
Any guesses on the couple sat on the rock (G8)?

G5 .. I think I would have guessed it had a limestone crag on the cover. Checked this am.  ;D

G6 Chew . Would be surprised if anyone got that... Super obscure!

Ah, I thought so, something to do with one of the Manchester Rock and Ice club guys who married his mates wife and was later shot? Slim Sorrell I think? Long time since I read those old books

Based on this I think I’ve guessed who, so is it Wimberry?

G10 - looks like Full Green Traverse/Dope on a Slope, maybe Seb Grieve?
G15 - looks like Dave Mac, but if it’s Bad Landing, I thought the holds faced the other way and don’t remember there being trees that close by. Maybe Ape Drape?
G20 - a. Stop, c. Lot, d. Wild Physique, no idea on b.
G21 - I’d guess Heather Wall or something like that.
