Holier Than Thou.

Location: Malin Head (Magdalen Walls)
Grade: E1 5a
Length: 22m

First ascent: Alan Tees, Bill Magowan, 21/08/13

Route Description:

This takes the left hand edge of Washboard Wall. The middle bit is very thin on handholds and protection, and required some unethical and ungainly antics. However let he who is without sin cast the first stone, as they say!I'll do it better next time!

Note that Bill has not denied the use of make up (tested on cuddly animals or not!)

Child labour, people trafficking, prostitution, heavy consumption of class A drugsâ€¦ but all this occurred AFTER the ascent.

Ungainly antics - all guilty. Unethical, did you invest in businesses using child labour or are you using make-up that was tested on cuddly animals? Be interested to see pics of line. I'd go back and do it again: clean.

This route and its' sister route on the same slab, Washboard Wall, are absolute crackers. Both worthy of 2 stars. Second ascensionists, get going please!
