Eagle River 13 Feb 2014

Hello

Could someone please tell me who set the current routes up on the main walls?

Many thanks

Steve

In reply to Eagle River:

Most of the routes are set by Andy Jack!

I've heard the current set are really good?

J B Oughton 14 Feb 2014

In reply to Eagle River: Yeah they're all Andy's, on the main wall and the triple.

It's a good set, much nicer than some of the crimpy horrors on offer at Stockport at the moment!

Agreed the routes on the main wall are excellent (though the 7b+ and 7c are maybe a little soft). The big double overhang could do with a couple of routes in low 7s to give a full variety of routes but overall I think they set some good routes now and their willingness to tweek things once set is something other walls could learn from.

In reply to Ian Patterson: just a little bit soft, but we wouldn't think they were so good if they weren't! Agreed about the triple but they'll get a couple more on when the leading ladder is done as there's only two routes per line at the moment.
