Episode 3. The pace picks up!
For anyone wanting to sample some Dorys chossaneering, I can highly recommend Three Dandy Scuttlers, which I’ve done twice (while hosting on the international meet). First pitch is very loose but very easy ledge shuffling, and belays just below Nick in the still above. You then break left around the roof on yellow wall cheese followed by bomber quartzite. The same band of quartzite forms the crux crimpy wall of Byzantium just round the corner, a pitch of two halves with the bottom 2/3rds being E2 5a.
What year was it Adam?? My first introduction to proper choss, I remember it feeling quite serious with just us down there, and the weather being not great…… the next day, we went back with a full team and the sun out and it felt like a different place.
It’s a pretty special place, highly recommended to anyone keen on adventure.
