Almscliff Top Cat/Sewer Rat ?

Never understood how these two traverses relate to each other. 
Anyone know where they go/whats in/out? 

Just out of curiosity really, think iv climbed every combination at one time or the other.

Sewer Rat Connection



For top cat, I started at the same place (not sure if this is official, but it's the best way) but reach straight out and up to the large flake, and then traverse the lip leftwards using the pockets below the break all the way to, and then up, the far left crack.

The crux being a long reach over to the letter box slot with your RH off a RF heel/toe on the big flake.

Here's a picture of someone about to do the crux reach over on Top Cat

I think the line descriptions were butchered in the Dunning book and haven't recovered since.

Fantastic dab in that footage!

Also,  :off:, but a whole year since the last LWW blog. Pull your finger out Ben.

It's not like I haven't provided him with countless impressive feats for him to talk about either.

Ben has always carried out his affairs with the lacklustre air of one who can't be bothered to even breathe, but since gaining full time employment he spends so much time complaining of how busy and tired he is that he can scarcely find time to pay people that he owes money to, let alone write an interesting and witty blog.

I reminded him of this the other day. I mean it's not like he has anything better to do with his time.

He's actually paid his debt now, so he really doesn't.
