City Dump

Overview

FA - Jeff Thomas & Steve Lyford 1973

To quote Alan Watt's City Dump is "A wretched pile of junk" well, I didn't think it was that bad. So if you want a good long adventure in the main area check this route out. The first pitch has some horrible rock but improves a lot on the upper pitches the slab on P3 is a gem.
