A controversial route. After the first ascent Glenn Robbins abseiled the route in anticipation of an attempt by Andy Pollitt and Chris Hamper and identified several chipped holds. Mark Edwards then abseiled the line and agreed holds had been chipped, and suggested that other climbers, out to discredit him, had done this after he made the first ascent. However Paul Pritchard had previously been on the line in February 1988 and found chipped holds, suggesting that at least some holds had been chipped prior to the first ascent.

Paul worked a similar line, sharing the crux and following a different line in the upper section, but was unable to finish it due to bad weather. References[1] Mountain 133, page 17 /library/11117/mountain-133 |
