New route in Mountain Quarry. Do it in the morning when it is in the shade, and then try On Edge above (re-bolted by others).
Adventure Line (30m, 17)
Start just R of Psychopath. Trend right past 5 FHs (crux), then trad climb up the corner above (gr.12). Just before top of corner traverse R onto face and up to lower-offs just below the arête of On Edge. Cams up to #0.75 Camalot, nuts all sizes. 5 FH, then trad gear. FA: Ross Weiter, Dena Rao, Nov 2016.AngGuestDid this yesterday. Once is enough.
Ross WeiterGuestOh dear. What happened?
AngGuestNothing much. The fifth clip had me entertained as I couldn’t reach it from the foothold. Eventually I worked out to grab a side pull and smear on a slippery bulge of joy to clip. Apart from that, not much. I like your other stuff much more than this one. I’m sure others will enjoy it.
RossGuestYeah Dena commented on that 5th clip also. I will move that bolt a bit lower. Soonish.
GarethGuestAng, Don’t panic, Panic
🙂
Ross WeiterGuestThere now is another bolt under the last one. It’s a bit OTT but oh well. If you want to get scared do Psychopath.
AshleyGuestDid this yesterday; it was a pleasant route. It makes a good warm-up/access for On Edge immediately above the loweroffs, which (it turns out) is an excellent little route.
