Does anyone have a link to an English description of this classic route or link to a topo?
Cheers.

In reply to shunty: Summit post but its vague. Already gutted the Internet and UKC for information, with a minimum result. there's some great photos mind. Looking forward to doing it in the summer, with a guide book.

I am also planning to do it in the summer and have got the Swiss Rock Granite Bregalia ISBN 1-899098-05-4.

This seems to cover it well.

In reply to shunty: I have been kindly lent the Alpine club guide, Bernina & Bregaglia , pitch by pitch descriptions. but pretty dull to look at. Once your on the route i think its pretty easy to follow the pegs.

Good luck.

The topo is from the Sasc Fura section of the Plaisir Sud guide (Filidor) and the photo looks like it's from here:

trust those no copyright russians!

In any case it's on my list!

In reply to Removed User: I did it in 2003 and had both the AC guide and the one you mention with us in the valley. The Swiss Rock (mentioned), puclished by 'Void' was the better of the two due to its more user friendly topos.

For valley cragging while you are there, there is a guide that can be bought locally,

Good luck, awesome route.

In reply to BenTiffin: You have ticked quite alot of my wish list Ben. Iam Jealous

In reply to IanJackson: Thankyou for the comment. Feel free to ask for beta in future if you want to know about any of them.

My wishlist is huge but I have had to cut down at present due to the birth of a baby daughter. Also, while Swansea does have the Gower and Pembroke and SE Wales Sandstone close by, it ain't exactly a quick drive to many other climbing places - I miss living 10 mins from Stanage!
