Inspired by todays beautiful weather and the KK thread, what's left unrepeated on grit. How about Happy Hart (Curbar)? I abbed this briefly once and I thought it looked very hard. And it it hasn't been, the siderunner needs eliminating.

[grimer]

That's an obvious one Andy, which had the honour of being bottom of the E7 list in the Froggat guide.

MaDMAn?

Northern Comfort 

Ecky Thump?

On a slightly different note, what about routes that have not been done ground-up? Scritto's Republic, Braille Trail, One Step Beyond, Dangerous Crocodile, Clippety Clop, B4XS, Gaia, Dharma - or one's that have not been flashed - Masters, Beau Geste?

[mark s]

northern comfort?

kp nuts
mindbridge
rollercoaster

MaDMAn?

MaDMAn is fucking horrendous, never E7.

[grimer]

Sommonite's picture of Peggo leaving, or about to leave, the ledge is amazing, a proper spine chiller.

[Idol eyes]

Er! has this thread already been exusted!!!

[Idol eyes]

Or similar,,,
Warm Love?
Dana Awen???
There was a similar thread, ages ago... it was really good and we tryed to keep it to the Grit, this one should be more open to other routes, globaly.
Indian Face O,S? If non head point  ethic were inforced, lets say after the first 3 ascents, would this get repeated, or would there be an extra carrige on the Snowndon Express for victims!!!

[GCW]

Is Screaming Dream still considered E7, or is a boulder problem nowadays?  Not quite had an onsight though and Ben proved it would be possible.

And has The Last Temptation had a repeat yet?  Only E6, should be one for an on sight too?

[AndiT]

Mindbridge is the one for me, it always stands out after the old High article called 'Dangerous Crocodile Snogging'. It has been unrepeated for so long, is so grim. I'm sure it was questioned whether it would ever be repeated due to the kind of semi-escapable climbing that it is.

Northern Comfort will be repeated within the year...... looks a doddle 

Others would be KP Nuts, Sunday at Chapel, Levitation, The Driven Bow....

[cowboyhat]

I thought Bransby had done madman?

I have never heard of anyone having repeated Screaming Dream. That does not mean that it hasn't happened.

I'm sure Ben Moon did it 2nd go after slipping off the easy starting moves.
A list of hard routes on grit here.  Although there are various speeling errors etc (Ryan Paskill for example) and it's old, I don't know of any better list at present.  A tick list it could well be.

[GCW]

Has the S-Groove had a repeat as the solo (ie no side runners)?
Others in need of an on-sight:
Ggantic, Strawberry Kiss, Perimeter Walk, Chocolate Girl.
The Midas Touch hasn't been done without side runners- E7 without?

I may be wrong on some of these, feel free to correct me.

[Andy F]

Midas Touch is probably F7b+ climbing and would deffo be E7 without the side runners as a fall from the crux would land you on your back from 20 ft up. The moves higher up are no push-over either. I keep thinking I should go back and do it the pure way, but as I'm a mid 30's dad and not a reckless youth it's not going to happen...

BTW the climbing is excellent, a great line as well. I didn't give it any stars as I wanted repeat ascentionists to give their verdict. Looking back I think if I'd given it a few it may have seen a bit more traffic.

[GCW]

Has it had a repeat Andy?  It looks a good line, and nicely BOLD.   

[r-man]

Gaskin's Slab at Stanworth. Might be some time before that gets done.

Why doesn't someone make a wiki page? Then everyone can add to it as and when. Like this one someone started on ukc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardest_sport_climbing_routes_in_the_UK

From what I hear about Biffa, this may not exist for very much longer 

[Andy F]

Adam Lincon mentioned he'd done it, but beyond that I don't know. Whispering Nick has top-roped it and offered the f7b+ grade on the toppy. It is a really good line, with some funky 'Monkey on a stick' type moves getting over the roof. You use a small undercut in the roof, slap your right hand up the arete to a crozzly pinch and then slap your left up the RHS arete of the Fools Gold groove to a big sloper.  The way I did it, going back right to the arete from the big slopey hold involved a wicked heel/toe move and rock over to reach the ledge on Golden Tower. If your taller there is a slightly easier sequence high up not using my heel/toe but the grade remains the same.

One of the best sequences I've done anywhere.

[GCW]

Sounds like a right trouser filler for the solo 
I'll spot you if you want to finish what you started.......

[Andy F]

If you've got the build of Big Daddy or Giant Haystacks then I'm up for it 

[GCW]

Imagine Giant Haystack's belly grafted onto a 6 foot three pole.  You won't be far out.

[Andy F]

For those who don't know what we're on about, The Midas Touch takes the undercut right arete of this piccie, with side runners (one at he lip of the roof, one higher up) in this photo: http://www.ukclimbing.com/images/dbpage.html?id=18321

Sorry, I don't know how to post the piccie on here.

[andy_e]

Giant Haystacks? You?

[GCW]

Beer gut.
Andy, that photo doesn't do it justice- it's a very cool arete.
I'm sure there's a few E5s and E6s in Lancs that have not been repeated.

[Teaboy]

Seems Peggo's routes might be a recurring theme; has First Last and Always on Esk been repeated? Mind Bomb wihout tensioned rope\side runner?

Did Twid do Hardback Thesarus?

[nik at work]

s groove has had several solo repeats. Perimeter walk should be onsighted by someone if it has't been already. It's easier than the E5 next to it IMHO.
