Hi all,
what condition are the pegs in on this route? Is there other gear? My guide doesn't give the impression of their being other pro. If so I get worried by old pegs by the sea!
I v much fancy it on a Cornwall trip this year. I've the Littlejohn selective guide - it is given E1/E2 5c. Fair?
In reply to Owen W-G:
I did it in 1989 and the pegs were crap (As far as I can recall - and they may well have been replaced since the last century. I vaguely recall that you could get other gear in.
Pegs didn't seem too bad, generally. Found about three bits of trad gear and 6 pegs, something like that.
Its fine. You can rest your calves in the big pockets and hence can faff to your heart's content on the sequences. I found the crux to be a little bit above a pair of pegs close together, soon after you have moved left.
In reply to Owen W-G: i had a good look at it last year before deciding against it as its slabby but pretty blank in between big rest pockets so micro stoppers and super lights would be ideal natural pro. don't remember seeing as many as 6 pegs but they can be hard to spot on culm coast (wouldn't trust them anyway round ere till your close enough to inspect em)
