People seem really attached to that nothing little wall at the top. It's hardly comparable (IMO) to the second piches of D Major or Euridice. Each to their own. But why is it OK to have a rap anchor at the first belay of Oceanoid if one on Penny Dreadful is not OK?
Actually went for a bit of a wander this evening. Not really practical to have one rap anchor serving both top of Parsons Nose and Penny Dreadful - getting between the two areas requires that one side would have to coil their rope and go fo a bit of a walk - or drag their rope across a gully and send stuff down it. Could probably do a 30m abseil to the ground from both sides of that gully but avoiding the gully bed to a rocky area at the base. |
