Cold Steal, Kilnsey - missing jug?
April 11, 2011, 06:55:44 pm
The yorkshire limestone guide mentions a jug after the initial hard section on Cold Steal.
I couldn't find any holds bigger than 1st joint for the majority of the route, and nothing i'd call a jug. Seemed top end for f8a, anyone know more?

The 'jug' is the broken and slightly glued hold you get with your LH after the hard move L by the second bolt. I thought it was top end 8a, others find it easy...

Just needs good conditions and it feels fine.

That does seem to agree with hard AF8a.
