Ascensions dans Borrowdale East par Andrew Ludar-Smith contenant trad-cpr ou ascent-date

First E1 for me. Nice route. May have wandered astray on the second pitch. The guidebook entry was poorly described.

Mostly a VD with 2 short sections that give it the grade. These can probably be soloed up to and then climbed.

Polished. Especially on the wall above the chockstone visible from the floor. Protection is also quite poor here. After a bit of scrambling about inbetween pitches the second pitch was a nice climb with some interesting moves and better protected.

Done both with and without the direct finish. Direct is more upper body strength and less technical. Possibly why I perfered it? Great climb. Certainly worth doing. Protection is solid and easily avalible. Last time I climbed this I was belaying at the top in the hail.

Nice alternative. Straight up from the obvious belay. Better protection I felt, might have to hang around to place it a bit.

Lots of zigzags in the route. We did it in 3 pitches but can probably be done in 2. Poor communication due to rocks shape on sections.

Took a good 3m fall onto the slab and a 5m roll down it on the first attempt as I was too far to the right. After a little body repair I got back on and finished the route properly. Felt a little easy for an E1.

Got it done on quite a wet day. Didnt have to que with the tourists that way. Great route.
