Tom Randall Instagram – Best (safe) E1 for the first of the grade in the Peak District… 🤔
This was the question I asked in my stories the other day as I had no clue really! Fortunately tonnes of people had really good suggestions and many also asked if I could share the results in a post… so here it is!
E1 is such a big thing in your trad journey as it’s the first of the “extreme” grades and I still remember my own experience very well 😊. Much nicer to do a ‘safe’ one as your first of the grade 👌

Ok here’s the top 5 suggestions from all of you lot!! I’d say results were very consistent with prob 90% of all people saying these 5. Gotta be right, huh??
📍Embankment 3, Millstone
📍The Link, Stanage
📍Left Unconquerable, Stanage
📍Strapiombante, Froggatt
📍Dexterity, Millstone
Honourable mention to Flying Buttress Direct too… 🙌
Now I’m thinking I should do the same for E2 😄 | Posted on 02/Aug/2024 19:46:10
