Surely the sitter hasn't been done until it's been topped out?


Well yeah, but on wet days the bottom half is often dry and makes a good problem in its own right. I don't really know if the whole thing has been done or not - it probably scares most people off as it's high enough to warrant E numbers. It's quite possible it has been done, there are certainly enough talented climbers around - but then again, no-one seems to know anyone who has done it. I wouldn't be surprised if someone like Ryan Pasquil had done it and just not bothered to tell anyone.

Niice. When you up again next?


Hopefully soon! In the next few weeks perhaps. Probably just enough time for me to grow some skin back.  :) It was good to catch up!

I can't begin to imagine how knackering jamming up those cracks would be.

...But that looks like a mean traverse.... :wink:

When I was there there was about 6 pieces of gear with topropes set up in both of those cracks, but not a soul about. I was tempted to swag the lot. That photo doesnt do them justice, they are way steeper than appearances suggest, and that rock is low fristion quartzite. I think the guide gives them 5.12 or so.
