UKC Logbook - 'Chee Tor Girdle'

4 pitches.

Rockfax Description
170m. One of the classic VS routes of the Peak which provides a great outing with amazing situations for the grade. Not a good route for a busy weekend but fun and fairly dry (certainly the hardest bits) in light rain. The long version starts up Doggone Groove but you can miss the first traverse pitch by starting up The Chopper.
1) 4b, 25m. Climb Doggone Groove to a belay on the left.
2) 4b, 42m. Traverse the break to a tricky descent to easy ground. Belay above Match of the Day.
3) 4a, 35m. Traverse into the gully then out to reach a yew tree above Queer Street. The scenery is starting to get better.
4) 5a, 30m. Follow the break past many belays and threads, with a hard move above Ceramic to a great hanging stance.
5) 4c, 35m. Keep going across the groove of Alfresco (tricky crossing the left wall), until you reach the tree/lower-off of Mortlock's Arete. Abseil off - 20m to the ground. © Rockfax

Misha	7 Jul, 2022	Show βeta βeta: The abseil tree is pretty much dead. Backed it up with a couple of wires 6.7.22 but it needs a couple of bolts really.	βeta?

climberclimber321	9 Aug, 2019	Show βeta βeta: Climbed the first 2 pitches then abbed off. Super overgrown and not fun. Probably should have carried on for the last couple of pitches but thought the first 2 pitches were was pretty rubbish.	βeta?

The Grist	18 Apr, 2006	Show βeta βeta: Did this in a rainy day in April. Last pitch proved the most difficult. I slipped with a bit of clay stuck to my boot but stayed on. Lots of bomber in situ threads of various ages. Great fun.	βeta?
