Flashed a route.

13 Tom Thumb Mixed trad 170m, 10

Notes:

Splitter condies.

Rack: -2*1/2 ropes (60s but 50s would have been ideal). -anchor kits (just quads would have been fine) ~12 bolt plates -Bunch of alpine draws with bolt plate compatable biners -Few draws (would just bring alpines next time) -Few double slings -Set of nuts (unsed none) -single set cams equiv 0.3-3

Approx approx 1hr Raps*3 approx 45 mins (low angle featured terrain, would have been better to bag/saddlebag), can see where groups stop too early.

Pitched, approx 2.5hrs on route with some routefinding/carrot finding faff (hint- several belays are 'over the edge' on ledges and can be hard to spot).

Belays mostly double carrots/GIMBs.

Three star atmosphere/location, many bivy caves, route best framed as mountaineering adventure terrain, mostly rambling with a few spooky moves. — with snapgate
