timfreddo - thanks for that - useful re Dyke area, cheers. OK, that nails down the Dyke itself, and establishes the routes either side. One of them must be Blue Train (maybe the left 21, havent tried that yet). The one to the right - some people have called this Cirdan, but original description of Cirdan says it goes up the wall to the Right of the Goog Gully, and that climb 2m to the right of the Dyke is definitely not 13 - I'd buy 16 per that description you found, and say its a tricky start for a 16. I'll leave the description in TheCrag alone for now until I get some better info.
Yes, we must get to the summit next time! :-) For sure our plan next time is to explore the Crown Buttress climbs, so Tanners Leap is a must, I'll check Flog the Dog (I have big gear so no excuses) and we can throw topropes down Nose of Love & others there. Am keen on a couple of trad cracks around the back too, and want to try some old-school chimneys and offwidths if we can throw a TR down them. |
