Hello all,

There doesn’t seem to be a description for No match for climb id:161481 on the  Chapel Head Scar page and I’m wondering how exactly there’s an extension, as the anchor seemed very much at the top of the crag.

Does anyone have any thoughts? Did it finish lower down previously? On another note, has anyone been in the last few days? The bottom of Phantom Zone (7c) was wet around 8 to 10 days ago.

Many thanks in advance, Emilio. 

In reply to Emilio Bachini:

IIRC the Phantom Zone used to finish lower down and was then extended.  I thin the lower belay was removed, so these days the extension has superceded / replaced the original.

Phantom Zone originally finished after the hard climbing stops (6th bolt IIRC) with a belay. It was baby 7c to that point. It could be extended to finish up Cement Head. 

Not sure when the modern extension was done (at least 10 years ago probably), it doesn't add much difficulty, but is very nice climbing on great rock in a lovely position.
