Title: House of Talons
Post by: duncan on April 25, 2016, 10:49:53 am

New E9 on Dinas Cromlech upper tier.

(http://dmmclimbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/RAY2002_gear_nest.jpg)

'Protected' by 12 skyhooks and left Caff “tired and scared” at the top. Doesn't sound like this will have people queueing for the quick repeat.

What, you mean you only have 10 skyhooks on your standard rack?? Pfffft.

Good stuff.

Great name, great effort....not so sure a great route ;-)  Certainly won't be queues at the base.

Impressive.

Pumpy

Placing all those skyhooks, not surprised. Good effort.
