Old Dogs (For the hard road) |
| Location: Eglish (The Gatepost) Grade: VS 4c Length: 45m |
| First ascent: A Tees, B Magowan (2/5/99) |
| Route Description: |
| Start at the bottom of the lowest cleaned slab on the main wall (about 7m right of'Knuckle Ride'). Continue up to a corner, which is climbed using an edge on the left, and through the gap at the top to a slanting ledge. Chimney up the back of the ledge, and make an awkward step right, to gain a grassy terrace. Belay. A thin start (crux), leads to a deepening groove and improving holds, to next ledge. Continue up exposed deep crack above. On the first ascent, as the final crack had just been cleaned, an alternative finish (up a flake in a corner to the left) was used. |
