βeta: Take care to deliberately traverse left for the 3rd pitch chimney. We could see where a recent team had continued in a more direct line into a steep wide gully with a difficult feature to surmount at the top - could have been interpreted as a chimney as described in the book. Abseil tat etc had been left, hinting at epic-territory. The correct chimney comes out by savage slit. I advise folk to look at the UKC pictures uploaded for this route. | βeta? | |
