Piglet's Crack *

Location: Poisoned Glen (West Buttress)
Grade: VS
Length: 24m

First ascent: R. Wathen and B.E.H. Maden 14/04/1958

Route Description:

To the left of the first diedre (reading left to right) on the West Buttress is a black gully, left of this is a small buttress. Climb the 24 m crack. Better desription and its descent route/method to be checked.

Described as 'a delectable one-pitch crack' in the IMC Journal, it was footnote in the 85 guide and left out of the 2002 guide. Hence 1 star - until informed otherwise. This also saves others submitting it as a new route.

Ronnie Wathen (a Trinity Uni climber) got one of the earliest repeats of Spillikin, he also provided The Glen's text for the 62 guide. So the route shouldn't be a pushover - when you eventually find it.

Ah, I do seem to have left out some vital details there - doh! Will ammend forthwith.

Not much of a route description. If you don't know where it is, surely it's best to leave it out?
