Deep water soloing history edit
Nick Buckley et Al were deep water soloing well before the first ascent of Conger. Started in the early 1970s by Buckley, Barrett, Dawson,MacGregor and other members of the Portsmouth Polytechnic mountaineering club as well as the Swanage climbing club - Scott Tit etc. 2A02:C7C:9032:7E00:D97F:DAB1:701C:B97 (talk) 20:20, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
- Do you have any references (e.g. books, magazine articles) that would support that? thanks. Aszx5000 (talk) 20:22, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
- I will get some photos and accounts from club members.
- we spent days soloing and scrambling over the Boulder Ruckel and adjacent crags.
- frequently soloing back up to get to the pub before closing time at 2.00 in the pub!
- This was in the 1978-81 when I was a regular climber when at the Polytechnic.
- Nick Buckley, Martin Barrett , Paul Dawson and Kevin Turner were there years before.
- Deep water soloing ( although we didn’t of course call it then) was the fastest way to explore the area and assess new routes. 2A02:C7C:9032:7E00:D97F:DAB1:701C:B97 (talk) 20:38, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
