back to the present
hustled myself back down to the waterfall for another look. didn't have camera or suitable tree felling equipment but went anyway. pottered broadly for myself didn't find anything more of note. midge were out whenever i stopped. the slopey break line still looks great but pretty wad. tried the steep mantle below a couple of times but fingers greased instantly every time i touched the rock. feels hard but not impossible using right hand break and throwing left foot up onto the centre jug. midge went critical pretty quickly and i had to move on. went to the craglet further down where we had barely paused the first time and did some cleaning. the line that had stood out before still stands out, some lovely curved holds, needs more cleaning on a rope but definitely worth a return visit maybe only on a windy or wintry day.

The line that stands out? Was that the line just left of the arete with the tree that needs to be felled? The place is probably best left for a few months now...
ReplyDeletejust below and right of the highball arete line is a bulge of rock ramping left to right, there was a line here me and mark paused at, the only issue being the likely starting hold is at full stretch from the ground, still looks like lovely holds. might be line to left on same bulge as well.
