What is Hajj 8c/8c+ at Raven Tor - New Route?
September 25, 2009, 10:04:59 am
Noticed Smitton has climbed something called Hajj 8c/8c+ at Raven Tor.  Is this a new route? If not where does it go?

Your beta skills surpass even McClures!

Sounds like an existing route then.  Word is that Zippy is working on a peak limestone update.

I think its the middle of the Mecca extensions. Kabbahh goes right out of mecca, original mecca extension take the left line and Hajj goes in between them. I could be wrong there though!

Yep, you're wrong. It's the leftmost finish to Mecca (let's stop calling them 'extensions' now that I've done one).

Much harder than the standard finish. Ru and I thought the crux was around font 7c area from a brief play.

Oh Jeeze, not another one...

Why does every new route in the peak involve climbing Mecca first?!!

If I could only climb Mecca it would be like moving to a new area...

Weedkiller traverse, Christians Traverse route 8b (name?), Mecca extention, Prow - Just another training day for McTor.



The Tor desperately needs a new guide / topo of some sort. I'd make one for the web but I don't know what half the routes are called, where they go or their grades.

Your not great at drawing either.  Good suggestion though
