Broadbinn's Emporium * |
Location: Culdaff - Dunowen (Brazil Rock)
Grade: HS 4a
Length: 18m
|
| First ascent: Alan Tees, Paul Robinson 8/08/92 |
| Route Description: |
| This takes the large right angled corner, right of the main pillar. The corner is gained by awkward moves up the parallel cracks. Start is often guarded by brambles/briars. The trade route of the crag! |
Broadbinn's Emporium - Bramble needs a trim again!

Loved this climb! Tricky start up the parallel cracks which I agree makes it HS. The rest is solid S with lots of protection and solid footholds. |

Grades are very much "in the eye of the beholder", so if its only one out, I wouldnt worry too much! Stimulates discussion! |

On talking to my second, he reckoned it was tight for a severe so...maybe HS isn't wide of the mark. anyhow the grade's not a kick in the nuts off so i wouldn't worry too much. I was really looking for someone to say - "Hell yeah that should be a HVS" or something like that and make me feel loads better about myself after such a long layoff! |

Pete, did this at Climbfest 07. Definetely Severe, a tad overgraded at HS. Cheers |

I think it was upgraded to HS because so many people found the parallel cracks at the bottom a bit tougher than severe. It would be good to have more opinions. |

been outta the game for a while but just done this route during the week. Great route in good condition watch out for loose rock at the very start of the route. Is this really a HS? i'd put it at a solid S but, maybe I am outta the game to long |
