Thorn Crag Minor Additions

Written by LakesBloc Monday, 21 January 2008 00:00

Despite the current spell of dreadful weather Greg Chapman managed to take advantage of a short weather window on Saturday afternoon and grab a few hours sport at Thorn Crag. Whilst there Greg routed out a neat little problem on the shark shaped block just down from the Banana Land boulder. Megalodon (6c+/V5) climbs the small prow on the downhill side of the block via a poor side-pull and pocket, a tricky throw for the lip and a tasty mantle finish.

Whilst at the crag Greg pointed Mike Binks at a relatively new (and previously unreported) problem on the Banana Land boulder. Bananamaor (6c+) climbs the left wall of the block from a slopey slot and sloper. Mike confirmed the quality of this neat new addition.
