Park Nab Capstone Capers

Tuesday August 7th

After a long day way out up Wrynose a local crag felt more fitting - it's been a while since we've paid a vist to

Park Nab
A good few routes done
L-R
Forked Crack
Twin Cracks
Ladies Gully
Pinnacle LH
The Scoop
Longbow


Twin cracks too good to leave alone.
Yellow dots gear placements.


Usually the finish is up the easy scoop right of the holly.

AT opted for a direct finish to the left, protected(?) by a big nut under the capstone
 
NB had trouble getting it out

Mainly owing to it being trapped in by the weight of the lardy leader.

Things went a bit WOAHBBLY when it finally came out!  Click here to get the drift


AT rolls with it


There's about a ton of stone poised with about 2 inches of wobble built in




NB shows how the crux moves were done in 2014






Some guests arrived with currant buns and goodies.

So we returned the favour and treated them to a few turns on a top rope!





Team Wobble kept going with a couple more routes

NB on a very difficult diff

There are no gimmes at Park Nab



AT kept the arrow pointing upwards as per May 2014 on Longbow

Note
4 and 5 with guests
