Time constraints dictated local fast access quick fix it's got to be;
Scot Crags Scugdale
Almost caught out by a sudden shower on the path up, made it back to the car to wait it out. But once again the rain showers sweeping across the plain all afternoon mostly passed us by.
No idea why this route goes by the name of Holly Tree Wall
BP ropes up for Tooth and Nail as the drizzle returns
Whistled up there with great economy
Three more good routes follow in short order
L-R
Cub's Climb
Pet's Corner
Whippet Wall
Zeta Wall
Another fine line
Steep off balance climbing leads to a relieving jug
Pup's Climb
Moves right from here on small holds
BP stitches up a devious thread on Jack's Delight
Gravity Wall (Direct)
Crux is at the top
Took two attempts and used up a lot of effort.
Normal finish traverses left at the top but feels precarious
Just off vertical here
AT selects some gear
A #10 helps commit to a hard finishing sequence (eventually....)
The Bulkhead goes up the obvious line centre pic.
Top crack overhangs
Too much for AT's noodle arms;
So BP despatched with great conviction.
Fortunately ran out of time before more displays of feebleness
Routes 1-6 may not be exact but close enough all in that area. Includes downclimbing
