Grunty, sweary, elbow knee and ankle grazy, sobering and humbling. We were silly not to swing down on a rope from the top first for an inspection - this crag doesn't get visited a lot and I don't know the condition of all the bolts/hangers - if they are there at all (as we found out). We noticed a couple of new hangers here and there, but I think anything with fixed pro should be inspected closely first. Especially recommended after the recent accident in the Bluies. The crag has also changed due to the fires (especially on the NW side of the tor), and we noticed reference to lots of trees that had been used previously for pro or belaying (or getting up the start of The Orroral Bolt Route) are no longer there, or are charred remnants.
