In reply to RJP:
Sounds like exactly the same thing I did on my first visit to Gimmer.
Sounds like you did the MVS variation "direct start" of Bracket and Slab, then got off that when you went right. It is the thin crack just left of the leftmost person in your photo. It is not the same thing as Bracket Direct HVS. The normal start of Bracket and Slab is quite a long way to the left and lower down the crag.
You've then probably done a mixture of bits of routes.
I always think Gimmer should have a route on here called Not Really Sure (S***).
I have since done the route without getting lost and it's a cracker, so if you go back do have another go!
