Morning,

http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/c.php?i=43861

What's the 7B top pitch like of this? Is it French freeable if I fall off. I've On sighted the odd 7b in my time but don't fancy my chances 250m off the deck with Riglos mega exposure. Don't wanna mess about if I do need to aid the crux, hopefully it's straightforward with nice close bolts.

cheees,
Si

Its a boulder problem in the sky that you can frig on the bolts. Aside from the boulder problem turning the lip the rest of the route is all mid-6s.

AJM's right, it's an easily friggable boulder problem, just about the last move. There's a HUGE vulture nest you can rest on/in just below it, where you can gather what's left of your strength together... The occupants have long since gone, just the evidence of them is left.

They better be gone, I have nightmares of getting plucked from a cliff by them dinosau beasts. They are marvelous at distance mind.

Anyways, Boulder problem in the sky sounds fun for a couple of goes before resorting to aiding. Done mosquitoes and looked up the route, looks so good. China town too but that it's seems is a fair bit harder.

I did Mosquitos, Chinatown, Zulu, Fiesta in that order, and it seemed a good progression in terms of difficulty/effort. At that time China town was the best/friendliest equipped of the four. Fiesta had had only the belay bolts replaced - all the gear in between was old - bits of tat, old bolts etc, but the gear on Chinatown was brand new. However, I remember that one pitch of Mosquitos where the exposure suddenly hits was equally spooky as anything on any of the others!
