[Face of Grace][E7 6c][Warland Quarry]
April 20, 2013, 06:36:11 pm
Climb the line of old aid bolts on the lower tier. A thin and technical steep slab solo (you could clip the bolts I suppose but they look rubbish and I think I might take then out). Only short (~6 metres) but the landing is a bit shocking. The climbing eases near the top and with a bunch of pads and spotters it might be a highball??

Managed to get a crap photo of the buttress off my phone, and even draw some lines on it. The poor quality means it shows pretty much nothing of any interest but hey-ho. Anyway Face of Grace is the blue line.

Weird little thread resurrection.
Anyway...
I never got round to taking the bolts out of this, they are still however rusting away to nothing...
Possibly more like E6 with the adjacent line E5? Still a nasty landing though.
Dunno if gaz did anything here?
Cheers guys.

Not enough giraffes here yet...

I'm guessing GCW was reminded about Warland as he passed it on his way to bouldering at Stony Edge. Then he penned an essay full of insight, humour and subtle genius - a real milestone in the history of climbing prose. Unfortunately Tapatalk deleted it. So he rewrote a more concise version...

Found out the answer to my own question.
Harcle's hill quarry is where Gaz did an e6 on bolts.
Sorry fiend for whatever offensive style I didn't do Nik's route in...

LOL, I was complimenting your style, I'm sure my post is pretty much copied from a new report somewhere! I think it's great the stuff you've done in good / improved style, and I have a lot of respect for that.

Not repeating nik's route is offense though...
