Ascents of De Facto

Quite nice, not too hard

Did this about 1990 over two days. It's got good climbing but some slightly creaky flakes. You'd be mad not to place the side runner in MP - it's very close and much better than the RP's in the seam.

This is actually quite independent of MP - you have to make a purposeful step right to use MP. If leading, you might want to do that before heading up the arete for gear but on a nice friendly top rope, you don't touch MP at all. Quite nice climbing, although has a few typical Frog questionable but essential flakey face holds.

Death lead. Good climbing though!
