Rebolted 2012. Plenty of gear now. Take a nut for start and a four friend for halfway up. Sure it's lost it's death route spice but the route is now safe for those without a deathwish. Thanks Glenn S!

	17	★ A Good Day to be a Duck	Mixed trad 24m, 4	Don't Bother
Borrowed trad gear and hauled it up to the ledge to finish this route. Needs a bolt at the start and either rings on the ledge or another bolt or two on the headwall. Route is listed as sport carrots in the 2010 guide. Defnitely needs gear.

Blackheath Area Shipley Lower
	20	★★★ Clockwork Orange	Trad 61m	★★★ Mega Classic
Do it! JB p1, Me P2, JB p3. Cruised it. Took our time. 2hr 45 mins. Glorious sun. Belay is more than adequate at start of third pitch. Beware the rap in. Take an extra rope for the rap and expect it to get wet from the waterfall.
