In reply to martin k: There should be no guidelines to a revolution!
I have read some of your description and I like there vague nature. Mousetrap was a stunning example. I will have to read dogs of war as well. I can hazard a guessat it, 'wobble your way up a poorly protected sandy groove, stopping to belay somewhere. Before having to leave the temporary sanity of the belay to gain the top.'
I added a description for the E1 corner just before gogarth, in the guide it was unnecceasrily long. A simple climb the corner to the top seemed to suffice!
I personally defy anyone who thinks they can accurately describe in written english the second pitch of Salem. I have tried and failed!
One of the writers came up with a stunner for right hand red walls,
"This wall can be climbed anywhere at 5b, eliminates exsist"
he then did the same for left hand
"this wall can be climbed anywhere at 5c, eliminates exsist"
Sure the info will be garbled, unreadable if I have typed it but it is fun because it is interactive. Some measurements will be in feet and inchs, others in metric and a few in vague term 'traverse for until it feels right to move up'
