Smoke on the water * * |
Location: Croc an affrain
Grade: E2 6a
Length: 20m
|
| First ascent: K McGee, P Tinney 16/10/10 |
| Route Description: |
| Start up the thin vertical crack on the left of the slab and climb directly to the overlap. Use a cluster of crystals high on the right to gain a small hold above the overlap. Move across to the left edge and place a good .3cam(awkward)and then make a few more difficult moves to gain good holds and a spike for a sling. Move out right on to the face and continue to the top. |

Great climbing in this route, moves before and after the overlap are superb with the cluster of crysals providing an amazing hold. Grade felt about E2 6a maybe touching E3. ** route. Another great route on this slab. |

We're just guessing the grades. There's plenty bomber gear with only small run outs. The crux is well protected with a size 2RP and then the .3 cam but it has to be placed while in a poor stance. Disco Legs is more sustained but less strenuous with a crux move 4m above gear that would probably rip and then it's an extra metre to the next piece. Maybe 1 star for this and 2 for Disco Legs. |

Hey guys, well done! I thought this may have been slightly harder, perhaps your'e on fire or I was being a wuss. I can't make out a whole load of protection in the picture. Any comment to made re stars and comparism with the line you got to the right? |
