The Sword (VS 5a)
A couple of quick questions for the hive-mind: the Rockfax guide has pitch 1 of The Sword on Y Lliwedd marked at 55m. The logbooks have it at 43m. I've lent my CC guide, so can't consult.
1) Is the 55m length correct?
2) Has anyone done it on a 50m rope and, if so, what did you do? E.g. Is there an obvious intermediate belay or can you scramble the first 5m?
Many thanks in advance!
