In reply to David Staples:
Did Skeleton Ridge today. A grand day out indeed, and the exposure on the last pitch is outrageous. The first pitch seemed the most worrying part of the route - climbing a steep slab on embedded flints with 12m ground fall potential. The upper section felt a bit easier than expected, with nothing harder than 4b, but maybe we had got used to the style of climbing by then.
The best description is in the CC South West Climbs Volume 1, but the Dan Bailey book is good enough. If you have a 60m rope you can reach the belay at the top of the route and avoid having to pre-place another rope. Make sure you take several very long slings to place round large blocks for runners and belays. There are now three brand-new pegs to back up the rusting relics for the belays after pitches 1 and 3, and for a runner on pitch 6. It sounds as if Cheese Monkey placed them - if so, they were much appreciated! The only other gear we used was a Rock 10 and a few largish Hexes.
The National Trust staff were extremely helpful, arriving early so that we caught the morning low tide, showing us the abseil stake, and looking after our spare gear while we did the route. And they provide a nice tea shop just where you top out.
