Espcially on well traveled routes.You've obviously never been to North Wales. Climbing on slate is like climbing on glass, and the routes all run with water for half the year so nature does the scrubbing for you. Finally, The Quarryan is not really a "well traveled route.". Not many repeats of the crux pitch (2?)and the entire route (4 pitches) has never seen a one day ascent. The fact that it is 4 pitches of mostly serious trad climbing is why it gets an E grade. The other pitches aren't all bolt protected and aren't very safe. Also, according to Johnny Dawes (guy in the vid), if you fall anywhere on the second half of the bolted crux pitch, you smash your face open. The E grade isn't just about danger either, but overall seriousness and sustainedness (I know, that's not a word). Back in the day the E grade was used for everything in the UK. All those sport routes at Malham Cove were originally given E grades. It wasn't until the 80's (around the same time as this vid was taken) that you started to see French sport grades used. The Yorkshire Limestone routes were mostly changed over to the sport grades but in Wales, things change slowly, if at all. |

yeah CT is one big choss, pile everyone should go away and not climb here! |

Stumbled across it on youtube, really some of the more interesting angles Ive seen in a trad video. |

A short film portraying a climber's life in Ireland, including multiple first and second ascents. 34 mins. Enjoy! |

Definitely great video! UK and Ireland climbers have serious stones. |
