I’ve been researching early historical ascents in the greater ranges and wondered if Uxbridge road has ever had a second ascent?

A number 273 bus did it in 2021. Oxygen-free

In 1980 EUMC attempted the North Gutter of Princes Street, before inevitably being invited to stop by Lothian and Borders' finest, shortly before the tricky Jenners pitch.  Gear was good with some bomber slings around parking restriction signs.

I'd be very surprised if it hasn't been repeated. It's considered a bit of a path these days.

Not as if it's hard to find, names painted at top and bottom of the route.

A nameless drunk guy did a magnificent solo ascent in 2016; he was being considered for the Piolet d‘Or but was unfortunately untraceable.

I heard a rumour that Johnny Dawes did it hands free
