Stamina routes at The Tor
September 22, 2006, 08:48:25 am
I'm going to take someone to the Tor who would prefer to do routes of a stamina type, rather than too bouldery (i.e. OOMT, RnH etc). I know this is a bit of an impossibility there, but can anyone recommend any routes there that are more in the stamina type?  :-\

Was looking for something in the 7c+/8a/8a+ range.

Thanks!

 There are actually some good stam routes on the left side. Bring a long rope as the are over 30m. Proud Whore 7c/7c+ - Up The Prow to the top of Revelations on two ropes, drop the LH one to avoid drag, continue up The Prow to the black tufa but continue direct into the groove system where The Prow goes left, continue to the top, very pumpy. Body Machine is the classic 7c left of The Prow. Zippy has done a new 8a Brazen Strumpet which starts as per Proud Whore but travs further and goes up the next line right. All the above start up the Ash tree at the LH side of the crag.
