Any locals got any knowledge?
Firstly, left of the arete at the end of the parking bay, a V2 wall, then immediately left of the arete is a V0 warm-up, then the arete itself is about V3/4. Then left of this is a highball starting out of the little alcove thing. What is this? It looks excellent and probably about E3 6a/V4.
Cheers ears.

Avon Gorge?

Stop faffing around at the bottom, and get yourself up that exploding galaxy wall. Truly character building.

Damn, I thought I'd put Avon Gorge. Oops.

I've got character, it's a weedy, excuse-finding one with no balls.

No guidebook? It's connoisseur's choice (start right hand of scoop, move up R past drilled peg, then back to rock out L, though for full route tick should finish further up R). It also has a more direct start. http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/c.php?i=32496 (http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/c.php?i=32496) the guy in the pic is doing the lower top out (more usual). Oh, you mean RIGHT of the arete too.
The scoop itslef is 'most choice' http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/c.php?i=44596 (http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/c.php?i=44596)
left of that is 'crystal tips/rich's wall', not entirely sure about 'rules' on that one, but basically the left edge/wall of the scoop.
There's sit start to all of them too, and the traverse.

Cheers mert. Does Connoisseur's Choice start via a sidepull, up to a good crimp and then coming over to a decent pinch (you can just about see the crimp and the pinch above it in that picture, directly above the lazy spotter's head), up to a sidepull, decide that's far enough with one "mat" and no spotters, then drop off? Or is that the direct start?
Apparently the arete is font 7a- awesome.
