Description If you've sent Venus and aren't quite ready for Neptune, try this crimpy and pumpy link up. First done by Justin Hayes this is an endurance route.
Location The Route climbs the first 4 bolts of Venus on a Halfshell, then traverses right and finishes on Shame on a Chippa (the Neptune finish too).
Protection Quick-draws, usually fixed.

| According to the old Rumney guide, this linkup is called "Little Mermaid", and is given 12d.
There is also "Secret Agent" (13a/b) that starts on Shame on a Chippa and finishes on Mercury. |

| Great, now we have 2 "Little Mermaids" and 2 "Cold Shoulders" at Rumney. How about something prosaic like "Hayes Linkup"?
I still wish Ward had left "Smoke Stack" at the New Wave as "Cold Shoulder" and just mentioned that Tim called it Cold Shoulder when he first did it as a trad route, to avoid confusion. It's the more often used name anyway. |
