Peter Croft on Flying Circus. We just happened to...


Description 

This is a sustained fingercrack and a great climb. Its often toproped but I found it to be a fine lead. Its rock is rather polished from TR traffic.


Location 

Its on the main wall of neat and cool left of the overhang and right of the dihedral the crack looks awesome splitting the face.


Protection 

Nuts, smaller cams.. you'll figure it out.

Guidebooks and posts in various locations all reference the polish this climb has received from top rope traffic. I led it this Saturday; never having done it before I can't compare to some earlier state, but it really didn't seem polished, or at least it didn't seem harder than the grade would suggest. A very enjoyable and well protected climb.

This one has been loved smooth from all the ascents. Good polished fun.

This route didn't seem polished at all to me. Awesome finger locks. Great route!

Led it this past Friday, and it was a great and varied route, with tremendous texture on either side of the crack. Wish it could've gone on for another pitch.
