βeta: Abseil from Paladin can easily lead to stuck ropes. We abbed from the top of Paladin after Civilization and, despite being really careful to avoid the ropes running through the crack, the end of our last rope, whilst free falling after being pulled through the anchor, managed to wedge itself against a small chockstone above the small roof on Paladin. It was irredeemably stuck and I had to lead Paladin to free the rope. Consider other options. Route is readily protectsd even with 3.5 (large silver) as largest cam (and that felt optional). No need for lots of large gear. Also, mostly bridging rather than crack skills. | βeta? | |
