A thin and dirty wall with some good flowstone near the top. USER COMMENTS
"Good flowstone near the top". I think thats all there is to this route, nothing good below the flowstone.
The worst route I have ever done. Firstly you have to climb past the first bolt to clip it. This wouldn’t be so bad if the start wasn’t snappy and dirty and situated above a 30 foot drop into the bottom of a gully. Secondly (if you survive the start) the route continues on more dirty and snappy rock (with a couple of worrying clips) to a dusty mid height ledge. Finally, two or maybe three good moves on solid rock lead to the base of the flowstone which is itself not that nice and in fact a little snappy.
The bottom half needs a really good scrubbing but I think there's some good climbing under there - maybe 1* if clean. I agree the bolting on the first part is a bit gnarly, although it's now possible to clip the access rope to protect the first moves. Reach symbol required for leaving the ground - or a more solid rock pile. Crux is a good little sequence. Flowstone looks good but isn't the best climbing.
Nails!!!! Dirty!!! Scarey!!!! the gully appears beneath you as you pull on, and the first two bolts are badly positioned! especailly as the starting foothold crumble instantly upon use! good mid-section with reasonable flowstone at the top! but still spice in the middle |
