You can lower back to the halfway anchor with a 70m rope with a little to spare( knot in end!). Megaclassic, retro flash after doing it many years ago.

Two attempts at pitch 1. A fall very low in the first one and a (surprising!!) fall at the very top on the second one. But what an amazing pitch of climbing. Wish I was good enough to try the second pitch too. Hopefully next time.

Beautiful and classic! What an intro to the pipes. But Em and I only did pitch 1 as it was her 're-introduction' to trad multi-pitch after a long hiatus, and pitch 1 delivered enough adrenalin, after which we were happy to come down, haha... Looking forward to come back to do the top pitch.

One of the best trad days of my time here, we started at about 4pm after some stressful scrambling to get up there, as we ascended we got to see the city in day, then in sunset, then in the night as the last of the light escaped topping out. Fun 50m rappel in the dark was adventurous, thankfully we both had our head torches. Such a beautiful area and a wonderful day out climbing! HB Liz

First spice girls trad adventure🥹so so scary (I’m definitely not used to the height or exposure yet!!) but sooo amazing! Taking out gear is kind of fun! Although perhaps not for cams that have walked and take an hour to retrieve, but Slabby saved the day!! Also made me realise exactly how impressive trad leading is (and the people who do it eg. Spicy!). To me the climbing felt harder than it objectively was (except some of the body chimneying, like the top of the 2nd pitch, which actually felt hard!) because of the cool 3d movement and exposure! The step-across on the second pitch felt like a particularly epic move! I hadn’t abseiled in ages but it was thankfully less scary than I remembered, maybe because of the tin whistle serenading?
