Deadman's Fingers

Location: Malin Laundry
Grade: VS 4b
Length: 18m

First ascent: Alan Tees, Bill Magowan 9/03/10

Route Description:

This takes the slab just right of "Shipping News". Start down at the boulder in the trough, climb up to an overhanging corner, which is surmounted to gain the upper slab. Thinish climbing, with thinner protection (wires) leads to the top.

Better protected now, but still toughish for the grade, maybe 4c, particularly the start. Sean Convery did an alternative start, climbing the crack 2m to the left, just as good and 4b.

Good route. Always a nice edge to hold/stand on, but very light on protection.

Good route but thin on gear, agree with the grade.
