Don't know if anyone is interested.

I saw this 1977 Guidebook for the Fredricton area.

That's a pretty unlikely thing to find floating around the internet. I doubt that many copies are still in existence. There are excerpts from that guide online at http://www.climbnb.com/. I really enjoy the cover photo and the similar vintage photo of cheekbone corner on Fred's website.

I had a look at the excerpts and noticed that Pink Panther was listed as a 5.6... is there a story behind that or is it just an extreme case of old-school grading.

I think you'll find it was probably 5.6 A2 at the time of that printing.

Pink Panther was actually a tricky aid climb before we freed it. You have to place a piton straight into the roof and then swing out on it. Quite exciting.
You are, therefore I am. That is the question....

When routes say 'quite exciting' or 'interesting finish' as part of the description in the guide... I've learned to send others up before myself... :lol:

See, now that finish on Aid sounds similar to how I finished it one time with Ulysse hand over handing me up after I fell off the roof and was dangling in space. heheh
