"Rhyme" Repeated..
Ben Nevis continues to be in excellent condition. It appears that on Saturday Ian Parnell and Viv Scott repeated the hardest route on Indicator Wall: 'Rhyme of the ancient mariner' VIII,7.
This modern test piece breaches the blankest section of slab with a tricky traverse from 'Stormy Petrel'. (Described by first ascentionist Blair Fyffe, as "a wee bit tricky"). However, it appears that on this recent repeat a new direct start was added.
With all this activity I wonder whether we will start to see some of "The Ben's" last great problems starting to fall, no doubt to keen folk who don't mind running the rope out!
Oh, and in the Peak, Leon and Tim made the mistake of going to Horseshoe Quarry...
