50th Anniversary: The Hunt For Joe’s Golden Nuts
To celebrate our unique heritage on our 50th anniversary The Joe Brown shops teamed up with our good friends at DMM and UK Climbing to give away 50 x DMM Golden Golden Torque nuts in 2016. Each nut was individually etched with “Joe Brown 50 years” making them a limited edition and placed at 50 classic Joe Brown routes throughout Snowdonia and The Peak District.
Joe thought it was a cracking idea and loved seeing the pictures of the happy golden nut finders as they posted them on social media.
And here you have it… the rather inspiring and impressive route list so that you too can follow in the footsteps of The Baron:
