Ascents of The Great Escape

Let's face it, this wall isn't the finest exemplar of Medlow sandstone, shaded, sharply ironstone rimmed and somewhat greasy in the wet. Worse, the midway overhang gives the option of a ledge fall from a few desperate campus-style moments to not much in the way of gravitational impediments, such as the mythical pink tricam. Maybe. Thus the old routes trend left across the gully to ancient pitons invisible in fading light. So this was not so much The Great Escape as just plain escape. From predictability.
