Thanks for putting in a lot of graft, looks another good venue.
Ted Rogers and I visited the crag on 20/09/2020 . Ted climbed the line of Prolong and I lead something on the left, probably a combination of or one of the Severes.
The crag is a pig to photo so it might be worth numbering the routes in order left to right, hard to tell which is which at the moment.
Regarding the approach, there is only one path, miss it at your peril!
The last 100m to the crag will always be a bushwack.
Well worth a prior viewing of the hillside from the cattle grid parking for Burnt Crag.
No surprise! I guessed you guys must have visited the crag previously.
Topo with numbered routes should be available soon.
There is also a small buttress of good rock encountered on the approach. However the routes would only be between 6 – 8 metres and as there are so many good venues in the Duddon does it warrant development??
Or is it best left for extreme boulderers ?
Meant 27/09/20 , sorry.
