Ascents in Flying Buttress as trad by Paul Kinnane

23? Negative! A great route which would see a lot more action if the grade even vaguely reflected the difficulty of the moves.

Great face climbing, although a tiny bit contrived (is the flake in or not?)

This route looks so tempting to warmup on sitting so close to top camp, with it's easy access, moderate grading and a few bolts. But for those of us on a diet of well bolted sport climbs, on good rock quality, this route is trouble! I see from thecrag stats, this route gets almost no action, and those that do venture on to it don't have good things to say. Perhaps a route from a bygone era...

One of the best 17's around. Abseil anchors at the top of P1 now.

Cool move at the start and lots of moss at the end.

Intimidating roof that must catch a lot of people out.

Got lost a couple of times. Take lots of big hexes.
