Forge | E5 Multi-pitch at Cir Mhor

United Kingdom / Scotland / Isle of Arran
UKClimbing.com
3 pitches.

E5 5c slab, 100m. See first picture in linked IG post: the line climbs a huge blank slab to the left of the climbers, before continuing with sustained climbing up the face, with a second crux on the third pitch. [1]

First climbed onsight solo by Julian Lines: probably one of the more thought-provoking ascents on British rock, recorded with little fuss or fanfare at the time.

[Julian] then confirmed what anyone who has climbed with him over the last few years already knows, which is that he is one of the boldest (craziest?) climbers of his generation, when he on-sight soloed a new 100m E5 5c line Forge next to Anvil. [1]
