It is. A joke, that is. Brown Madonna had 2 stars from the time it was first done, through at least three different guide books until the current version. It's a particular favourite of a couple of the current thesarvo editors, thereby the increase in stars. It's got some terrific climbing in the last 15 metres or so. As I recall, emerging from the chimney is a thrilling experience (long time since I've led it). However, it's got nowhere near the sustained quality - or the position (until you emerge from the chimney) that three stars should require. As a clear-cut comparison, there's no way that it's as good as Digitalis, a route right next door that gets - and deserves - three stars. |
