Title: [Smear Campaign][E7/8 6b][Red Wall Promontory, Gogarth]

Cracking new line gifted to Alex Mason by an 'under the weather' Caff:

Good effort nailing it in a session, especially as Caff has just been in touch to say that he thinks it is actually E8.

Nice one Alex. Has anyone checked out the old Dawes proj further left? I seem to remember he broke a hold off it and then considered it 'impossible'...

Caff has been on it. F8b climbing with minimal gear apparently.

Is the proj visible in the topo, out of curiosity?
