UKC Logbook - 'The Long Climb'

Damn book sent us the wrong way after p7, great until then. Fear, rockfall and sketchy escape to observatory ridge ensued.

Excellent alpine way up the Orion Face, including a chossy, wet, snow-patchy, and loose route with complex routefinding. First ascent of the year?

An aptly named route. The 4b second rib seemed punchy, even given 4c for the direct. I don't know where you go to finish that pitch, I ended up only (it was wet,) being able to traverse to the big ledge to the left, but found the route by traversing high and back right again, so there must be some way. The "easier climbing," of the final three pitches never materialised, there are many options and time is required to explore to find a do-able one. Good route, but tough.

Very intimidating, very long, so long we missed the England match! Route finding very hard above Second Slab Rib, climbed some hard stuff on and around third slab. Swirling cloud, scary snow approach, slimy rock, some sensational pitches and a magnificent way for us to finish our Classic Rock ticks.

Grim weather, absolutely soaked by top of first pitch. Got to third pitch and bailed.

Rainy and slippy. Spent a lot of time wondering where the route was supposed to go around pitch 8/9. Fantastic climb, well worth it.
