Didn't read much about it, probably should've because I basically soloed half of it. Oops

Noticed the carrots had been replaced with rings and thought I'd see if it'd been retrobolted. It hasn't. A sport climb for people OK with free soloing. Still a decent climb.

The climbing itself is fine, with decent breaks for cams. The fixed gear is a bit of a worry though. No visible epoxy on the 4 carrots and I wasn't game to rap/lower off the single rusty quicklink on the anchor.

This is an enjoyable route. I enjoyed placing some cams and was reminded that shipley was once a mixed crag. Times have changed, but I appreciated this remaining token mixed route.

Absolutely terrifying finding that there 'used' to be a bolt... The guide book didnt have this critical info and Im glad it was only a 17. Still, great climb!
	17	★ A Good Day to be a Duck - with Murray Pinnock	Mixed trad 24m, 4	★ Good	Max
Ensure you have some trad gear. Climbing it as a sport climb is pretty sketch as the first bolt is about 5M up.

A bit bold without supplemental gear. Bring a few medium cams for the good slots above the halfway ledge (say, BD #0.75?).

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.

The removed bolt needs to be replaced to avoid the 10 metre run out in the middle. But it's a pretty average climb anyway, don't bother.
