Lamplighter (second pitch) 1-May-2011 At 6:38:49 PM AndyJS

Message

Over easter weekend we climbed Lamplighter - great climb and enjoyed it immensely. However we might possibly have gone a little off-route... On the second pitch, by the time I arrived at the offwidth chimney I'd forgotten whether the correct way to go was directly up, or to keep going further right. I suspected that I was supposed to go around, and continuing up didn't seem correct. However I wasn't sure, and holds inside chimney were covered in chalk, so I proceeded upwards.

Since then I've been looking for answers, and found this thread that seems to indicate that the chimney is NOT the way to go. http://www.chockstone.org/Forum/Forum.asp?Action=Display&ForumID=2&MessageID=3819&Replies=1

So, couple of questions:
1) Which way is the correct way?
2) If the chimney is NOT correct, does going this way increase or decrease the grade, or is it much the same?

Cheers,

Andy
