An Afternoon At Broughton | chossclimbers.com

Summary

Leading the nice Classic Crack (5.9+) on the Red Wall (March 2006).

I think this was a quick, half day outing to Broughton Bluff in March of 2006. We climbed the Classic Crack (5.9+…yes, classic if short and greasy) and The Sickle (5.8) again. I think that was it but can’t be sure, ‘kay.
