Well i am still without my computors, as my new one is being cloned to the old one! Hopefully i’ll get them back tomorrow, the repair man thinks he’s repaired the old one as well.
So this afternoon i headed up in the sun to the skyline buttress, to climb a few of the sports routes i hadn’t done.
The climbs were OK, however they are slightly friable and probably over bolted for my particular taste of slate. More importantly though, they were all over graded, as they were more top end F5 than the F6a many of them are given.
Mainly because i didn’t have to pull hard on any of them. In the vast majority of the climbing the footholds are all positive.
The routes are well worth doing though as they are 50m long and you need att least 15 quickdraws or you can skip a few of the bolts if you don’t have enough or climb up and down back cleaning the quickdraws as you climb up.
