Title: [Peak][Wormstones][TheWorm Ouroboros][E6/7] and a highball 6C+
Post by: mark20 on April 18, 2016, 10:44:16 am

A mini Nah-han type prow, short but packs a punch. Thanks as ever to Bonjoy for the tip off.
 
The Worm Ouroboros E6/7 6b - Straight up the steep prow with powerful and sustained fridge hugging. Crucial small friend placed blindly at half height makes it pretty safe.

We also did a highball roof about 25m to the right, Wormy McWormface font 6C+, (this may have been done before but I can't find owt online)

Nice one, had a play on this years ago.

As I recall it could only be "pretty safe" because there's no landing to hit as you roll into the distance...

Well done to everyone involved  :beer2:

Good naming skills too. Reminded me of Red Dwarf.

I've never been to Wormstones. Looks good though. Does the old E5 climb the prow on the left side?

Yep, the slabby side of the arete. Didn't try it, looks good though
