30th January – Kate Swain climbed the first free ascent of the old Green Beret aid route in Mountain quarry making a rough grade of 27. Very fingery and delicate climbing. Some minor glue work finished on the 1st of February by myself to assure a coulple of important holds at the grade remain intact. Glue only placed on rock fractures and in no way adds on or too holds not already part of route. If anyone knows of another first accentist of this route please contact myself or CAWA.
I know that John Pinkard equipped it in the early 90’s and i thought that either he or Shane Richardson climbed it around then. Not sure though, ill email John and find out… Either way, nice work Kate.
