Wrinkled Wall (VS 4c) at Bamford
One of those routes that looks much easier from the ground! I battled, and after 45 minutes, I finally won! Result!

Why is it called Wrinkled Wall I wonder?
Just out of interest, do you like chips?

Bon effort. Those wrinkles aren't as good for holding as they look! I also remember thinking that it would be a most unpleasant swing if you messed up the last move out to the arete - one of the weeeeeeeeeeethud variety (I have some expertise in that area).

Good effort. I did this last August. I put it being harder than it looked down to 4 months of pie-eating and no climbing, but apparently other people think so too.

Well it has been four months since I have lead anything on grit, so perhaps it was the pies!

I like this picture because it shows "Sinuous Crack" (VDiff) to the right. In PGE it is described as "strangely named" and indeed it does look like the straightest crack in the world from the ground. But in this picture you can see what the first ascentionist meant by sinuous.
