I recently climbed this short, lichenous line at Zig Zag, on the wall left of Rip, Van, Winkle. Does anyone know any more details (FAs, route name, grade) than those on thecrag.com?
Also Rip has now been retrobolted; possibly justifiable as I am aware of at least one serious accident this route which is next door to two beginner classics (Van & Winkle)

Does it have bolts (carrots)?
I think there used to be a Geoff Weigand route on that little wall, left of the corner which is the top pitch of The Mixture.
Urako? 21?
And I think there is another 21 next to that.
SF?

4 carrots. It's a recent route, RIGHT of the corner. Not on the same wall as Urako.

Its been there for ages. Before Ed rebolted SF and Urako.
Someone once said Ivan put it up ?

Cheers Bundy, when I say 'recent' I mean in the last 5 years or so, as opposed to all the bolts that went in in the 80s. May have to track down Mr Valenta. Maybe he bolted it, climbed it, realised it wasn't particularly good then didn't bother putting in a top belay or owning up to it..
