UKH Hills - Chris Jackson’s 100 Classic Limestone Climbs

Contributed by cheque Jan/22 - This public hilllist has been seen 612 times

From the 1991 book “100 Classic Climbs: Yorkshire and the Peak District: Limestone”. Like it’s brother Steve Ashton’s 100 Classic Gritstone Climbs there are way more than 100 routes.

The books specifies that you finish up the second pitch of Alfresco after starting Valentine but there’s no UKC listing for that so you’ll have to decide if you get the tick or not. It calls Windhover “Windhover Direct” but it’s the same route. Similarly the route the book calls Easter Island is the E1 version called Easter Edge on here and in current guides.
