Asparagus Tips

Location: Muckross Head
Grade: E4 6a
Length: 20m

First ascent: H Hebblethwaite N Grimes(5/91)

Route Description:

As good a way as any to spend an afternoon. It climbs the wide crack in the cornflaked wall just above the right-hand side of the cave. Go easily up to the base of the crack. Climb the crack and continue up for several further moves which will lead to a good ledge.

This is E4 6a in the guide. Has this been downgraded?

Well spotted, Rodney. Like myself, your'e not at the Climbfest - unless your'e on 3G taking a rest after some climbs? I suspect details were transferred in a hurry, I don't think Howard and Grimer would be in the 'sandbagging' game. If you didn't make the Climbfest I'll get the latest topo sent onto you.
