| First ascent: M.W.Holland, J.Gilpin, J.Sinclair, J.Purcell 22/09/07 |
| Route Description: |
| Approximately 4m left of "Daddy Fox" (assuming Daddy Fox to be the obvious vegetated corner or right around the arete from "Boulder One"). A flake crack was followed up the left hand side of the wall to finish through an obvious 'V' notch/groove in the crag top. Pleasant climbing using the crack and edges. |

Alas I think this is 'Daddy Fox',the desription fits. The guidebook has 'DF' as being 5M right of gulley, it's actually 15M r. of gulley; as on-line guide now points out. 2 lines I've done aren't new lines due to that error! |

Peter, Unfortunately I'm not local, I'd love to be. We were across from Scotland staying at a friends place in Port Salon. If we're across again, I'll post an e:mail as it it'd be great to get a bunch of folk up there and meet up with some of the locals. Wilf. |

Next guide book will be faultless, like all guidebooks (a wee joke there) and it'll have this route in it. Alan noted that he didn't think DF went through a V-notch. Are you local-ish? If your'e in the area or visiting post an e-mail via the secretary and all CCrs will receive. |

Yeah I was struggling a bit with the descriptions, but don't think it was Daddy Fox as it definitely wasn't Severe 4a. Gave it Diff, may be V Diff at most. Looking at the topo on hear it appears to between lines I and J. |
