Did I hear a rumor about some development work on Cape Clear this summer? If so, can I help? pretty please, I have my own wire brush and everything!

Development at Cape Clear will most likely commence in early Sept You will need much more than a brush LOL a airstrike would be more effective. Also good preparation would be to try and spend 4-6 hours hanging in your harness. Sounds like fun no?

All you youngsters and your newfangled holemakers. Nothing builds character like a hammer and a hand-drill. One day, you might even finish a route.

Heading up there this weekend to check things out...

Allan please post up..let me know the conditions of the last KM or so of road. That section of steep up and down is notoriously washed out and im worried my VW bus may not be up to the task....Have a awesome time.

The road is in fine shape except the last 50 m for your average car and no problem all the way with 4wd. Looks unlikely to wash out anytime soon either, which is more than I can say about the weekend's climbing. Fairly torrential - didn't manage much more than wandering about and aiding some of the lines on River Wall. Has anyone freed Sunset Cracks yet?

sunset crack - i never went back to, it wont be hard but bring a brush and use the handle to scrap away the pebbles. The climbing is very easy just slippery. It was the end of the day and I pulled on a piece you should be able to free it at 5.9 if you clean it a bit.
