Great shot Martin.

An atmospheric pic, don't remember it being that 'out there's, guess we're all getting older! Is our Bulldog still insitu?
Stuart the postie - 14/Feb/17
Quite an exposed pitch I thought! The only insitu we found was a nut that crumbled when touched and a hex that had no wire.

I guess after 15 years, someone's managed to remove it.... I had just bought one of these, Andy banged it in, I couldn't remove it, first time it had been placed!!
Is it VII,7 or VI,7??
Stuart the postie - 14/Feb/17
VI, 7. I've just changed that actually. I changed it to VII, 7 after Neil Adams and Brian Pollock did it last year and both agreed VII, 7 was more appropriate, however it would seem they managed to climb McLean's Folly into Deadman's Groove which would have been significantly harder. It's quite hard to find the traverse pitch. There are a number of possible traverse options. I've emailed Andy Nisbet with a corrected topo.

Also I think that happened to by first bulldog also. Placed it and couldn't get it out!

I traversed in on a higher line and it's definitely VII 7 that way.
