Should we only be debating the grades of harder routes that fewer people have done or will ever do? |

Its a nice wee line, I've done it plenty of times so it must have something going for it. I wouldn't get bogged down with the one route when there's so many to go at at Dunmore.
If anyone would like a copy of a small topo I did for last year's Climbfest of Finbarr Wall, I'm sending it onto Pete Smith; so it can be a download. It was done as a, very, rough sample of the forthcoming guide. I repeat very rough! |

I admit to struggling on this route the first time but I really, with the benefit of more time at Culdaff, think VD is actually correct |

Just for note the arete to the right of BBB is a thin bouldery and short VS: Tetley Mild. |

First outing yesterday @ Culdaff - Completed lead on SRS Slab followed by a 2nd on this route - Have to admit that VD is not the grading I would give - May I suggest HVD! - After compelting the 2nd, I decided against the lead and moved on to Absent Friends (just to the right) and led on sight - This is also graded as VD and I believe to be correct :-) |

Pah! VV Diff, but not VS. Is it a while since you've been off the colour-coded holds, or what? |

Climbed this route last thursday and, in no way is it a VDiff, total sandbag at that grade. Up to the point where (see JJ above) you move out onto the arrete is VS material. Too run out to be a VDiff with footwork/gradient and moves that match that of VS so that's my grade. Beginners beware! |
