	17	★ A Good Day to be a Duck	Mixed trad 24m, 4	Average	annette miller	Mon 24th Mar 2008
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.

needs rebolting to modernise this route. No one should die on a 17 at Shipley

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.

A bit bold without supplemental gear. Bring a few medium cams for the good slots above the halfway ledge (say, BD #0.75?).
	17	★ A Good Day to be a Duck - with Murray Pinnock	Mixed trad 24m, 4	★ Good	Max	Sun 21st Dec 2014
Ensure you have some trad gear. Climbing it as a sport climb is pretty sketch as the first bolt is about 5M up.
	17	★ A Good Day to be a Duck - with Gee Buck, Max	Mixed trad 24m, 4	★★ Very Good	Murray Pinnock	Sun 21st Dec 2014
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!

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.
	17	★ A Good Day to be a Duck	Mixed trad 24m, 4	★★ Very Good	Grechy	Mon 10th Apr 2017
If in doubt, run it out
	17	★ A Good Day to be a Duck	Mixed trad 24m, 4	★★ Very Good	Chris Bennetts-Cash	Sun 2nd Jul 2017
mixed, huh? I guess that makes sense. climbed as a sport route with a death runout
	17	★ A Good Day to be a Duck - with Oliver	Mixed trad 24m, 4	★ Good	Joey Scarr	Fri 16th Mar 2018
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.

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.

Thought I was on the sport route next to it and did wonder why it was so run out. Oops.

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