Good on them though, wouldn't fancy doing that route as it is, never mind in the shitty weather that's been round that way in the last few days.

I thought the aid version was a harder proposition than the free version. Lots of crappy old fixed gear and the crux 20+ft roof is hard even on aid - esp since Doug Scott's original bolt disintegrated on us 5 yrs ago. Doesnt get done much these days. Definitely one of the best crags in the UK nonetheless.

Indeed.

"Pitch one at A3 takes Mark 5 hours, then Rich leads pitch two A1 in one hour."

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com: Met the support team van (lots of UKC stickers!) in Hushinish on Weds, the weather was fantastic and looks like it will stay that way for a couple of days at least.

Cheers,

FT.

Are they doing it as inthe book or a new version. by which I mean using the old aid rather than freeing things? That would be nice.
