Long Crag & Hi Karate

Written by LakesBloc Saturday, 06 November 2004 00:00

Following up from his exploits at Carrock Fell Greg Chapman has added two new problems at Long Crag…

Longitude (7b/V8) Starts from sitting at problem 12 and traverses leftward into Long Wave.
Long Division (7c/V9) climbs the slight crack line left of Beast of Burden via technical and hard moves.

Greg also made what is probably (judging by the amount of rocks moved and cleaning needed) the first ascent of a superb problem 30m down and right from Kits boulder at Carrock fell. Hi Karate (7b/V8ish) climbs, from sitting, the barrel sided boulders down hill face, via two edges a slap to a sidepull sloper out right and then some tricky tension orientation before dynoing for the lip.
