Buckland Slabs Upper Cliff | ||||||
16 | Dirty Dancing - with Karina | 75m | Average | |||
Ended up being quite a bit of an adventure climb with lots of gardening required.
First pitch is poorly protected until reaching the right facing corner crack. Traverse to Old Hands is also poorly protected. Set up an intermediate belay in crack after traversing across to Old Hands due to rope drag and climbed up to belay ledge as an extra pitch. Due to messing up the pitches, I was looking for pitch 3 (instead of 2) and ended up sieging a path directly up a wet and dirty crack up and left from the ledge. In theory you can traverse further left to follow a much cleaner line. |
