Timeline

1970

Steve McClure (born 25 July 1970) is a British rock climber and climbing author, who is widely regarded as Britain's leading and most important sport climber for a period that extends for over two decades, starting from the late 1990s.

1998

In 1998, he created Mutation, at the time Britain's second ; but on its first repeat 23 years later was regraded to, Britain's first 9a+.

2000

In 2000, he freed Britain's third, Ben Moon's Northern Lights.

2002

McClure is also known for onsighting routes, and in 2002, became the first British climber to onsight an with Indian Summer at Kilnsey (he has since onsighted more routes at 8b+, such as Tom et je Ris, in Verdon in 2013).

2004

As a late-comer to sport climbing, McClure had mixed form in competitions, retiring in 2004.

For the next two decades, McClure dominated British sport climbing, repeating the hardest routes of his predecessors such as Ben Moon's Hubble (8c+/9a), and Jerry Moffatt's Evolution (8c+), and developing Britain's first 9a routes.

2007

In 2007, McClure created Britain's second route, Overshadow.

2008

While McClure is best known for sport climbing, he is one of the few who have repeated the hardest traditional climbing routes in Britain, including Dave MacLeod's Rhapsody (E11 7a, 5.14c R/X) in 2008, and Neil Gresham's Lexicon (E11 7a, 5.14a R) in 2021.

2009

In 2009, he was unlucky not to become the first British climber to onsight an failing at the final move of Amistad in Rodellar, Spain.

2013

In 2013, McClure became the first-ever British nominee for a Salewa Rock Award at the 2013 Arco Rock Legends, and a citation calling him: "a true legend of this sport and his nomination rewards a lifetime of cutting-edge climbing"; the four nominees were Steve McClure, Chris Sharma, Alex Megos, and Adam Ondra (who won).

2014

McClure's first British onsight of Ron Fawcett's Strawberries (E7 6b) in 2014, was also notable.

2017

In 2017, he created Rainman, Britain's first-ever sport route, and by that stage was responsible for developing the majority of routes graded and above in Britain.

Although mainly known for sport climbing, McClure has also been one of the most successful British traditional climbers, and British onsight climbers (in both sport climbing and traditional climbing formats).

McClure started climbing early as both parents were keen climbers, and by age 16 was onsighting E6.

McClure did not take up British sport climbing until he was 24, and said that it took him time to adapt saying, "[in sport] it's possible to commit 100%, rather than considering the risk and the danger [in traditional]".

He went from onsighting E6 to onsighting ; within one year was doing redpoints in a day; within 2 years he was doing ; within 4 years, at age 28, he was doing.

In June 2017, aged 46, McClure completed long term project Rainman, Britain's first-ever, with PlanetMountain saying: "Steve McClure is the climber who almost single-handedly has dictated the pace of cutting-edge sport climbing in the UK. Practically all the hardest climbs in the country are his, starting in 1998 with his 9a Mutation at Ravens Tor".

2019

He has also freed projects such as GreatNess Wall (E10 7a), in 2019.

On traditional climbing risk, he had said: "Routes like Harder Faster, Indian Face, The Bells The Bells and Meshuga just fill me with dread, and I have absolutely no drive to do them at all.", and, " I like the technical challenge of placing gear, but I'm not interested in death routes".

In 2019, McClure made the first onsight of Nightmayer (E8 6c), one of the hardest onsights of a traditional climb in Britain, and in 2021, he flashed Impact Day (E8 6c).
