The Devil's Slide, Lundy
Add Photo  Printer View
Description 1. Start from the platform and climb directly up the slab (right of center) to a break. Belay.
2. Continue on up the slab to a poor belay at the good half way break.
3. Moving slightly right continue up the white scoop delicately. The higher you go the better the gear placement are.
4. Continue on up the right edge of the slab until you reach the headwall. Traverse left below the wall and finish up the left side.
An alternative (harder) more direct finish can be done up the cracks on the right of the headwall.
Location Right side of the slab
Protection Trad Rack

| If you think you'd like to run the 1st and 2nd pitches together don't!! The rope drag on the slab is terrible, and if you only have a 50m rope it won't reach. I tried it and was forced to down-climb a very nervous 80 ft of polished slab with only one piece of gear to get to the belay (it would have been easier to solo the thing). |
