Northern Exile Jul 2020 1:13pm, 26 Jul 2020 6,638 posts	0 Northern Exile Both the Price Drop and Bowland Bypass are very worthy options I once did a Leg 5 support for a really nice guy who came down from Scotland and was doing the BGR on-sight, he was an eminent climber and also around 6ft 5" tall, he literally ran down the crags on the nose of Robinson, never mind trying sneaky ways around it. I caught him on High Snab though
