Could be onto something here - ‘fantasy route combos’.
In a similar vein "Crags that would be amazing DWS venues" is a fun game to play. Anyone fancy building up the wcj dam a little?
-
Orchist at almscliff over a pool. Would obviously require a good scrittle filter and excellent heating.
-
My vote: Tuppence into Bricktop into Premonition roof into the Bat route headwall with decent-but-not-super-chill knees in between... My oh my.
-
It would be a bit easier, but I imagine The Groove would be improved by starting up Consenting instead of Something Stupid. If someone chiseled out SS a bit would anybody miss it?
Same goes for Bat Route starting up Seventh Aardvark which is toss.

Face Mecca into the Indian Face - or did I misunderstand the game?
-
I think you understood it very well. Is there a good belay whence one route stscks onto the other, or is it a full 100m pitch?? Might want some skinny ropes for the latter.
-
Heaven crack into heaven crack into heaven crack into heaven crack ad infinitum
-
Hubble into the Mutation extension, ave that
-
Well, there is potential for an Ali Baba Cave style bollox link of Belly Of The Beast into Mutation....
-
Careless Torque finishing with the Crocodile, from Isatis, at full height.
-

Ha I thought that when I tried Seventh Aardvark a while ago, amazed at people's persistence in climbing such a shite route repeatedly to access the stuff above. The upper bit of Bat Route must be really flipping good!
-
Les Nouvelles Plantations du Christ in Tarn into Colisevm in Rodellar would be a nice 90 meter long 8a+, assuming you could handle the ropedrag on top. Not so much drag from the first 50m, so that is always something.
-

No belay, of course, as per the sports routes (though now I think about it, I presume there's some gear on the easy ground at the top of Face Mecca?).
-
Could not find the rules.
Chee Dale cornice but made of good gritsone up on the hill by bridestones..
-

The Bridestones made of good gritstone would be a start.
-
:clap2: very good.

What amazing routes those would be!

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...

Good luck with that.
Something not not at Avon on top of something not at Avon.

Why not Mirage (Ceuse) into Taipan (Ceuse) for a wild dyno finish.

Old man of hoy into totem pole

Yellow Edge into Amanita (belays allowed)
Tour de France into Was it You.
Lost Illusions into Bold as Love into Bristol Unillustrated.
-
That was the essence of the ramp challenge. All the started routes, right to left, finishing up tour de France. If you ignore the a38, and the fact it's not actually a multi pitch, it's the best multi pitch route in the world. E3, e2, E3, e4, e5, e6, e5, e2, e4, e6, e4, e6 or something like that.
I fell off the last move of tour de France when Charlie and I tried it. Never went back.
-
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.

Quite. A38 is a bit off-route, albeit a quality little pitch. (March 89 ;) )
Was saying just the other day, I miss climbing in Avon.

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.
-
Fuck me that would be epic. I found Wizard of Oz tiring enough.
-
Why not Mirage (Ceuse) into Taipan (Ceuse) for a wild dyno finish.
I fucked that up. Ceuse Mirage into Taipan Mirage.....
-

Haha, I did wonder
-
Les Diamants sont etrnal (Buoux) into first pitch of Zeppelin (Pembroke)
-

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?
-
Supercool (Gordale) into Colosseum (Rodellar)
-
Top pitch of Mulatto Wall at Malham (as far as the “mantleshelf”) into the big pitch on Positron.
-
Demon Wall into Demon Wall Roof at the top of the crag
-
Serpentine Taipan into supercool gordale
-
Banana finger into strawberries.
-
Picking up on the Berry Head theme but not going sideways, Cod Tympani into Cod Tympani would be wild :yes:
-
Sunset into Three Pebble into Four Pebble into Great Slab
-
Sunset into Three Pebble into Four Pebble into Great Slab
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.
-
The obvious choice is the nose into the salathe.
-
Bof. Everything longer than ten pitches is never worth it. The feet always start to hurt
-

Pffft sport climbers….

Banana finger into strawberries.
Or Bananas into Strawberries?
-
Careless Torque, Archangel, Don, White Wand, Ulysses
CT is to keep traffic at a minimum
-
Put Ulysses at the start then ;)

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.
-
Find me a more tiring 25 metres than
Jackaloupe - National acrobat - snug as a thug - Sad amongst friends
-
Maybe I’m the odd one out here but given it’s a bouldering forum. Should it not be be The fantasy routes made in to boulder problems.
Strapadictmy without bottom aręte.
-
Very good point Webbo!
Best route cruxes that really should be bloques and would be more suitable that way.

Salar with significant ground raising?

Empire of the sun as a deep water solo

That bit of Milky Way between the bottom jugs and the roof. Basically the techy peg scarred cracks.
-
The top parts of Angels Share, velvet silence and jumping on a beetle, obviously
Just not that stupid chipped rail mantel
-
Almost Me (Ban-y-gor) minus the bit up to the ledge would be top notch

All of Mutation, ending with a no-hands rest stood on the Angel's Share rail, followed by the Angel's Share slab and a massive debate about whether the grade changes.
-
New Statesman into Reservoir Dogs followed by Countdown to Disaster then French Duke, all above a massive ball pit but without the stray nappies and kids socks..
-
Sufferance into slap happy, with a shake out then followed by Chemin de Fer where the crux was substituted with Mestizo site start.
-

:lol: top work.
Also mestizo sit start FFS, that shouldn't even be on a crap sit-starts fantasy list.

It's ok Fiend, there's and alternative finish using mugsy instead, for those who like middle finger flappers each session. :-*
-
Archangel/Don to the break, cams, then White Wand with the big break being the top of the crag.
-
Would you have soloed that combo in your Gazelles?
-
It would certainly have saved all that traversing.
Not sure what the hardest thing I did in Gazelles was, these were definitely tennie terrain. What was the hardest thing you soloed in wellies? Western Front or Big Greeny?
