About the bad belay at the top of pitch 8,
(i posted about this 12 months ago or so when i did the route) i don't know if we were off route but there was a bomber hidden thread inside that cave which was out of site but i managed to find it.
on pitch 8 we went up the chimney for about maybe 20m until you could traverse off to the right on a chossy ledge, basically from there i headed about another 10m to the right and up about 2m into a little cave that only really fits one person in it for the belay. when my second came up he didnt think it was the right cave but it seemed to follow the weakest line to get there.
Then pitch 9, we couldn't find any no 5 cam placement, but we traversed left and slightly up for 10m or so around and up a slabby desperate bulgy thing, it was alot shorter that then 30m in the description, we also didnt find the carrot, only the rings for the final belay.
Does that sound anything like pitch 8 and 9 to people? |
