FFA. Bit of a weird novelty - hopefully the holds stay
|
||||||
V6 | FA ★★ Gossy Good Times | ★★ Very Good | ||||

Is there a quality rating for mega average? This is it
|
||||||
27 | ★★★ Sir Serpent | 30m | ★★★ Classic | |||
More serpentine than Serpentine - bit of a mission but well worth the effort. A double-dubious ascent by starting up 97% and mantling the top due to sun blindness.
