Ascensioni di Chopper

Brushed this route - the unprotected first 7 metres are now much more pleasant.

Fun but mossy start. Not sure why the retro-bolters didn't add one lower down? First one is at about 8 m and felt much safer pre-clipped. Quite burly moves over the bulge. Probably harder than Penny Direct.

Interesting.

Nice bit of variety so close to the car. Flake at lip is very loose.

Very high first bolt for the slab

That flake is spookier when it’s the only thing between you and the ground

Been a long time since I last did this

15 my arse - a good climb but the cruxy moves over the small roof are a couple of grades harder

Freekin windy!

A lot of bolts for granite - and they mostly suck. Previous YP.

1st bolt gone. I dogged this on 22/3/98 resting on top bolt.
