I've never walked off of Chockstone, is it feasible walk off the last pitch over to say Green Spur? We are looking to link up Gambit, Chockstone, and Greenspur/rewritten tomorrow.

EDIT: we ended up doing handcracker instead.

A bit of a pain, but possible. Be careful on all that loose stuff between WR and RGW.

Thanks Mic. We'll give it a go tomorrow. Hoping to get a lot of pitches in quickly :)

You should do handcracker to get to redgarden. It drops you off right where you need to be. Chockstone would put you by the potato chip sort of and would be a shitty descent. We did ginseng junkey-> sooberb -> YS a few weeks ago. Original plan was to do handcracker but it had 2 parties on it when we got there.

We ended up doing Hand Cracker to Greenspur/Rewritten to the Bastille. We broke it down like this,

Hand Cracker: 3 pitches, 8-9:30 am

Green/Written: 3 pitches, 10-12:15

Bastille: 2 pitches, 1-2:40 pm

then one of us had to go to work...
