Ochre Slab Route II

S 4a

<< Shallow Chimney

Ochre One Point Five >>

[The not so frequently photographed second pitch of Ochre Slab Route II, 2 kb]

Delightful climbing on fabulous rock. One of the better Severes at Bosigran. Start on a high, flat ledge left of Black Slab. 1) 4a, 23m. Move up a corner on the left side of the slab and swing out left at the overhang on big holds. Climb up to a small overlap and move right and up onto the slab that leads up to the large overhang. Move right to belay. 2) 4a, 9m. Make some fingery moves up the wall left of the large overhang and follow cracks leftwards to finish. © ROCKFAX

Hmm, Sam lead the first pitch, seemingly taking ages finish the pitch, luckily he didn't take a fall when l took him off belay prematurely! Second pitch was bit scary as started to get dark and was a step across onto another wall with single nut as protection. Was appreciative of lassooing a sling...which came off as l climbed above it, luckily had the comfort of being able to place a hex :) Not a good one for the end of the day. I'll be a great route to do the second time!
