What is a 'classic' climb?

They are in a beautiful environments and have sustained, interesting climbing with added exposure. The best classic routes were the cutting edge, break-through routes of their day and their ascents were often epic affairs involving iconic climbers.

Some of these venues are: the high mountain buttresses of Clogwyn Du'r Arddu, the extensive crags in the Llanberis and Ogwen Valleys, the rain shadow crags of Tremadog, the quick drying Slate in the Dinorwig quarries or the adventurous Gogarth sea cliffs in Anglesey.
