Recent Developments on Peak Limestone

Peak District Sport Climbing Supplement 2010

Ground Up has joined forces with Peak District climbing stalwart, Mark ‹Zippy›
Pretty to produce a rock climbing supplement: Recent Developments on Peak
Limestone.

Activity on the Peak limestone crags continues apace, with numerous new routes
being produced by a small but dedicated cohort of activists. There has also
been much re-equipping work and rationalising of neglected routes in recent
times.

This supplement documents these changes and gives details of the new routes
with a deliberate emphasis on clip-ups of F7a and above. It follows in the
tradition of previous ‹Recent Developments› supplements dating back to the
classic Steve Bancroft supplement published in 1977.

It includes full colour topos showing the new lines on the intensely developed
Raven Tor. There are also a couple of graded lists – an expression of the
current consensus on relative standards of difficulty in the Peak sport
climbing scene.
