Girding someone-else's loins

Location: Culdaff (Dunmore Head) Left Crags.
Grade: E1 5c
Length: 17m

First ascent: P.Cooper & M. McGinty20/04/07

Route Description:

As for 'Egg and Spoon Race' until a step right can be made onto the toe of the slab on the right. A diagonally-rising-traverse goes up to a shallow corner, continue rightwards to gain the horizontal break; finish as for 'Pretty and Pink'.

Dave Millar at the lip - The exit to 'Girding Someone-else's Loins' is shared with 'Pretty and Pink' and could be 6a!

It should be noted this route is probably VS 4c/5a up to break/roof and worth doing just up to there. The roof is a thin-yet-thuggy technical sequence and may be 6a! Dave can fill you in when he 'returns'.

Nice climbing up to overlap, moves feel thin then above overlap, definetly one for the strong fingered type.
