New Routes by Crag ~ Dancing Ledge

Route Name Grade First Ascentionist Description Date Climbed
With or Without You F6a+ Jan Rostron, Pete Oxley 5Brs. A very pleasant technical face climb starting 2m right of Ken Wilson? . Gain a jug at 3m then trend left past a prominent undercut with fingery moves to gain a slabby area. Finish as for last few moves of KWLS ( new Br ). 2BB.( named in memory of good friend Brian Tilley )(Soloed by Jimbo Kimber in 1998, and known as 'Ken Wilson's Right-Hand man: Ed) October 29th 2006
Figure at the Base of a Crucifixion F7b Pete Oxley 4Brs. Sporting an opening salvo of powerful cranks on an independent line , a good addition! Starting just right of Seven Years Solitary, crucifix RW over the huge bulge via a critical pull on a lone flakelet to reach slopers. Further testing moves up a feint groove lead to positive jugs that ascend direct to the right side of a high ledge, 2BB. October 29th 2006
Minimum Maximum F7b+/F7c Pete Oxley 4Brs. A debilitating test piece assaulting the quadruple roof stack 3m left of Ken Wilson?, very sustained, fingery and inventive. Stay tight to the bolt line. Boulder directly to finger holds on the lip of the second roof ( no swinging in from right! ). Use a heel hook on the left to reach over the third roof ( knee bar ? ssh don?t tell anyone ) before crimping for all you?ve got to clear the small fourth roof to eventually reach the big undercut flake. 2BB. November 4th 2006
Coprophobia F6b+ Marti Hallet Climbs the right hand corner of the 'Mariana's Trenchcoat' roof area. Start as for MT, then move right to a chert jug. Fingery moves lead to easier ground and the top. April 18th 2007
