Thrunton Crag History
The crag has been climbed on for some time and Thrunton Front was put up by Malcolm Rowe in 1968. The main development was by Gordon Thompson together with John Grey, Kevin Watt, Bob Crossling, John Cummings and Tommy Carey in 1973. Most of the routes described here are the result of their work (though George Micheson found the solution to Birthday Crack) and it was Gordon Thompson who originally supplied the information.
