The Greenwood-Locke was climbed to within a few pitches of the top in winter of 1986??
by Sean Dougherty, Chas Yonge, and Trevor Jones.
They bivyied and a storm and major cold front blew in so they bailed.

As classic as these routes seem to be, there are some major choss bands to deal with. Loose 5.6 and 5.7 with no belays or gear to speak of. The hard bits are reasonably solid though.
