Solid Rock

July 17th
Crag Lough

West Corner S4a         (AT)
Original Route S4a       (BP)
Hadrian's Recess S4a   (AT)
Jezebel Direct MVS4b  (BP)
Main Wall HS4b           (AT)

Did our best to avoid any Dire Straits
All routes pretty committing, grades feel generally understated but probably fair once accustomed to the niceties of the very solid yet sometimes worrying whinstone sill.


AT on West Corner
Steep

BP

Amenably up Original Route


View of Hadrian's Recess (large crack in shadow)


Same route - large dark crack towards right


In the recess

Eighth piece of gear going in

Locals manage with three it seems


BP on second crux of Jezebel Direct

Lower crack in left foreground very testing


Topped out


MainWall

Big Single Pitch

Quite adventurous

AT searching for the Main Line
Just Like a Rolling Stone
