Right of Stay Left?

Is this the chimney just to the right of "Stay Left"? I don't know the name of it, if it has one.

If you like chimneys and haven't done Caver's Route at Tower Rock, do it.

Re: Right of Stay Left?

I couldn't tell you, to be honest. We aren't all that good at "documenting" our climbs. Bust out a couple of pitches... maybe snap a photo if we are lucky... and move on to the next desperate attempt.
I'll have to check out Caver's Route sometime. I have heard that a lot of people do it free solo, but I don't have the balls.

Re: Right of Stay Left?

Certainly no need to solo it - I was happy to have a rope and the bolt to clip on the second pitch. The route may be a little short on protection if you don't have big bros, but since most of the climbing feels like wriggling through a cave rather than ascending a big free-standing tower, I bet you'll barely notice.
