● Slip and Sliding Away
Nov 15, 2025 · Solo. Not completed. And probably shouldn’t be. Tricky polished mantle to get to the chains is not something I wanna down climb. Did it in vans. Feel like I did this before roped with Claire and the dogs but I can’t remember, climbed a few of them here at the orchard.
