Due to the sensitive Access situation at Dali's Hole, the poor quality of our new routes there! + the need for bolts to equip better quality projects elsewhere, Phil T and myself have decided to remove the hangers from: Slip Not, Why Not, Aardman Productions and Le Petit Pois. This will be done at some point over the next few weeks / months. Hope it doesn't upset anyone too much!

go and climb collosus or flashdance or Splitstream then make up your mind. Its different just like trying to compare the peak to the pass ie an E2 in the pass compared to Left Wall

It would appear that, due to the amount of traffic they receive, Binky Bonk Central, My Wife's an Alien and Captain Slog are by far the greatest additions to Welsh Slate in YEARS!!!! ps. who's the selfish git who has removed the new routes book in Pete's ??!!

The Health and saety manager has noticed 'family groups' and young children in the Dali's Hole and Never Never Land areas and is concerned about liability. The major wory seems to be people seeing climbers here and hoping over the fence under the imprssion that it is an area open to public access, the gate is very easy to climb over from the public right of way. We, the BMC,, will have a site meeting soon to discuss these concerns. First Hydro will be improving the fencing sometime to discourage random access by the public. My understanding is that they don't want to keep "experienced" climbers out but, we may need to look at alternative ways of accessing these areas. In the meantime if you do take youngsters in can you look after them extra well especially around the Dali's Hole pool. I'll post more information when we've had our site meeting

Sorry guys but making anything in reach (like Dried Mouth Sesame) out of bounds is OK for a V1 or The Beacon, not for outside. The hanger at the top could also do with a stainless maillon or better a ringed hanger. Better yet, two of.

A good effort, but as for any route in this day and age it could do with a pukka lower off. Much as I feel nostalgia for the 80's the lower off's are better for two shiny stainless rings/maillons,

Great site full of useful (invaluable?) information.
I'd like to add some grading comments but I'm a bit wary. I do most of my climbing in the Peak and of late seem to have spent too much time at Horseshoe (especially) and Harpur Hill. It strikes me in comparison that almost all Slate sport routes (all quite easy) that I've done of late would be graded at least one grade harder in the Peak. Whether this really matters is a moot point. Is it worth trying to standardise grades across different areas or should the visitor just be given a warning that things might be different? Well, wary or not I'll add gading comments but I'm certainly not saying that current Slate are grades are wrong - just different! |

I'm glad to see a loweroff on this!
I climbed this line four years ago so memory is fading, but it appears the current guide description is wrong? The corner crack is very chossy and unattractive. I climbed a superb face crack and parallel line of scooped holds a few meters left of the corner crack which I'm sure was the line. Anyone?
