Anyone done/tried liquid assets at Cratcliffe?
Got spanked by the lower arête. Route description suggests it’a climbed on the left but couldn’t fathom it. Eventually sussed a method on the right but not convinced that’s the way.

Yes. I did it (onsight no side runners natch, tied off a sapling). I remember it being tricky but I'm not super tall, and I see shorter Bransby has logged it O/S (although I remember him belaying/seconding?). Sorry can't remember sequence details but I'm not certain it wasn't on the right. It was while writing the BMC guide script so if that says left it's right.

[SA Chris]

it's right, or it's correct??

It deffo climbs on the left side.
There is an obvious line to climb on the right side with the aid of the crack out right and then re-join LA at the break. I did this on an ab years ago but never got round to leading. It felt about E5 6b. There is also a possible wild extension to do along the lip above, out to a sharp arete on the right - my notes have an estimate grade of E8 6c. The lip crux felt font 7B+-ish but there's a mention of brittle rugosites.

Cheers chaps.

Yeah I used the crack on the right to compress up the arête. It’s a pretty good sequence, suspected it wasn’t the original way though.
