★ Stuffed (Sadhu Rum linkup)
![]() P1: spicy start, especially for the first climb of the day! Passed tatt/thread on P1 and continued up the outside of the chimney, avoiding hollow plates and eventually moving on to the R face and rigging a hanging belay in a break above a couple of hangers. In retrospect I should have just kept going up the carrots and completely linked P1 & P2, but I was worried about running out of mid-large gear. P2: up a chunky flake with a 4 or so carrots on it, to shared ledge with more carrots and shackles. Presumably this was 'Sadhu Rum'? P3: up carrots with some fun steep moves (avoiding choss) to start, followed by easy corner to small rings. We rapped from the top rings on 60m doubles, with plenty of rope to spare. | 50m | ||||

Clipping the first carrot bolt felt very sketchy, with a potentially very dangerous fall and no possibility to stick clip.
