Great shot frog!
But what is with the unclipped cams? |

The unclipped cams - funny story that. I was a bit scared of this route so decided to rap down and place some gear just before the runout crux section. There are two areas to place gear - a thin seam crack on the right (small wires) and 2m to the left are two bomber large cam pods. The cams are the good gear - the wires were a bit pox. Stupidly I didn't use double ropes so got up to the crux, clipped the low small wire, committed to the move to the cams and realized the rope would be almost a z-clip with rope drag so couldn't clip the bomber cams. But I was committed so I just kept climbing up. Silly me. |

Three stars for the strip tease show taking place on the ledge below.
Minus one star for the right slanted tilt of the photo.
+ half a star for the trad runout by lead climber nmonteith. |

Tilt of the photo was done in post process to draw the cracks to the corners. It balances the image me think. |

Terrific photo of a great-looking route on a wonderful crag.
Like the way the photo is arranged so that the cracks go to the corners.
Makes me look forward to my next visit. Nice one! |

A good photo of a photogenic location, and I enjoyed the stories belonging to it, however like DD I am somewhat put off by the post-photo-editing that appears to tilt the original framing.
I thought tools like photoshop could reframe smaller/larger to get a desired 'effect' thing without tilting, but obviously with a differently angled baseline to still retain the 'verticality' component?
It makes me wonder how it would look with the close-crack running to bottom centre of frame (instead of bottom RH corner), and the cliff-base that is currently bottom-centre, running off frame at bottom left corner?
