Mecca Extension | 8c Sport route at Raven Tor

UKClimbing.com

Extension of Mecca - The Mid-life Crisis. See also Kaa'bah and Hajj.

A long standing project of Mark Leach's. Unfortunately after working out the extension he was unable to repeat Mecca so the first ascent had to wait for Steve McClure.
