Changes

Key:  Additions   Deletions
California Wall
All bolts have been replaced bolt for bolt, as close as possible to the exsisting placements. There were two bolt belays place over the top of the crag, one at the top of Waves of Inspiration, about 2metres back from the edge near a little gully. The second was on top of Central Sadness and is easily found by finding the slate shed. There is one bolt inside and one outside the hut.

The following route recieve the treatment. All re-equipped 04/07.

Simply Peach E5 6b. Peg replaced by a bolt.

F.A: Peter Robins [16.04.07].


The California Express F3+
New fun route [10/06/08] linking California with Serengeti. From California bottom, ascend the scree then bear back to the right and walk along a vegitated shelf between two trees, from the top of the slate steps start at the left. "Climb the arete following 4 bolts to mantal finish and twin bolt chained anchor on the shelf above". (Lower-off sport style or bring up your second and go through the tunnel to the left onto Serengeti - also useful in reverse as an abseil line into California)
