UKC

Direct line of plumb. The actual first ascent of the Plumb is this 6a/+ version. Direct up a flake wall. Some will feel long to first bolt. The south wales sport guide book writers/others/general public have often omitted this. Using the tufa either side as start and easier. Hence confusions re grades in texts UKC. Threats to say the direct line was always the line of first ascent. This info is left here to give clarity as guidebook writers may have used their own ‘licence’.
