Ground Up has joined forces in 2010 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. Jon Fullwood has written a very useful
bolting best practice article and a number of excellent action
photographs have been supplied by top climbing photographers: Keith
Sharples, Ian Parnell, Stu Littlefair and Adam Long.
