Cucklet Delph - worth going ?
September 17, 2015, 12:14:16 pm
Have only got a couple of hours on Saturday morning. Is it worth a look for a quick hit ?
Also anyone know how badly it seeps ?
Thanks

Doesn't seep much. However it's mainly disappointing. Sharp/uncomfortable holds, poor rock quality higher up, and a lack of lines. Alacrity standup at 7b is ok but after that you're gonna want tons of psyche or developers blinkers.

I've not noticed anything worth climbing there. The ghyll scramble down from Eyam is perhaps unique in the Peak though, like open-air caving through an archeological dig through a municipal dump.

Great name though. I assume all the little cucklets have hatched and flown the nest by this time of year?

OK thanks for the replies.

Yeah, most of the climbs there are a bit scrappy. I thought the sequency trav was quite fun though, and the 7C+ link into Alacrity looks good.
