I'm not sure funny is the right adjective to describe 8 or 9 hours climbing with apparently now no idea where it was! Appreciating all the sleuthing work all the same guys..

Pretty sure we made the top of pitch two of the Watchtower crack, can't be many big shady hanging block belays like that. The pitch above that seem to exit through a shallow gully with some small bushes to the decent ledge with bushes and a tree on it - but must have drifted right as I didn't see any fixed gear.

After that there were two or three short walls which, from the topo's supplied (thanks) were too low to be Kitten wall (damn, there goes my 8a.nu score).

We rapped back to where we started so there can't have been much in the way of traversing.

My money's still on a rather over enthusiastic exit from the block rightwards up to Wendy's "Short scrambly shit" going way too far until we hit bush. But that's maybe through a lack of acknowledgment of of my poor route finding skills.
