12 | ★ Old England | 55m | ||||
Not quite the 50th Anniversary ascent but we're getting close. Must have been a classic back in the day. still holds its own imho though lots more pro available with modern gear. Climbed as one pitch in approach shoes. Would be an even better experience if done with old school gear and mountain boots ... Classic.

Great to get some quick progress on this one. 2nd day, 2nd shot and I got through the crux moves and made it to the rest below the upper corner. Tried giving it a shot but was shut down by lack of gear and damp spoogy holds. Top could well be the crux both mentally and physically. Might be getting back in shape and form ....
