The CC have done it with their Pembroke guide, giving all routes of E56 and above an accompanying sport grade in their select guide only for only those route where it is known ... The CC Pembroke guidebook authors (Emma and Paul)have a huge advantage inworked really hard doing it for Pembroke by speaking with lots of locals and visitors alike and making a real effort ... Some of the popular hard routes [in Pembroke] get almost as muchmoretrafficthan anywhere elseas the populous climbing areas of the Peak and Yorkshire.Bar a few notable exceptions, most routes in Yorkshire of, say, E5 and above see only a few disparate repeats. I imagine many are unrepeated.The popular hard routes in Peak/Yorkshire have loads of ascents much like the popular routes in Pembroke. There are unpopular routes in all areas...
