Just the kind of thing that leads to confusion. |

Apologies, previous post should say well "right" of it and not "left" |

All, the topo was drawn according to FA descriptions. Reading the descriptions, line 1 is definitely "midges". The description of "Sky Gamut" has no mention of chimney/corner apart from starting well left of it. Dunno why theres any confusion |

It's hard to tell from the descriptions. Pre-Flight Checks sounds quite like Sky Gamut. Chris McDaid drew the topo on this page in the online guide. He'll know what's what. |

I followed line 1 in the topo as it seemed to match the guide book description but it definitely felt harder than V.Diff. Using the book we thought Sky Gamut was line 2 in the topo. Can anyone clear up the confusion? |

The topo for this route is wrong -"Midges..." is route 2 from that topo, the one that goes straight up to the top. Route 1 is definitely harder (Sky Gamut perhaps?) |
