More info on Progress relevant in the context of the grade of Evolution.
From High Mag Sept 95 Rock Notes which I have just dug out of storage (paraphrased):
Progress was first equipped and subsequently abandoned by Paul Ingham. Nic and Tony Mitchell had been vying for the prize of climbing this 'open project'. Jerry asked Nic if the project was open and having gained the relevant 'consent' set about climbing the line with an efficiency which must have made Nic and Tony, both of whom had made great progress on the line in their 2 years of attempts, want to hang up their boots.
I guess this is what was reported at the time although the reality may have been different, who knows?
