13 | ★ Orion - with Graham Dowden | 50m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Although situated in an area ritch with veins of chunder this climb proceeds upwards on some clean, interesting moves. Great belay stances, stunning view. At today's rates, somewhat above a 7, grade inflation since '52.

Somewhere around the second 'hold' that consisted of a small bushy grass tuft holding into what could be described as vertical compost the thought entered into my head that perhaps I wasn't on my way to topping out another three star classic. Bring shovel, and a passion for gardening. Alan Titchmarsh eat your heart out!
