Route Comment: Innominate Crack/Sepulchre
Posted by: Nick Wharton, 16.06.2020 Innominate/Sepulchre combination given E25b in Lake District Rock. This is only worth E1, there is good protection and only one tricky move near top. All quite clean.

Sorry Nick, have to disagree. I shunted it in July ’24 and found it filthy. Gave it a clean, but wasn’t impressed with the potential protection. The top section was covered in a kind of ‘fluffy’ moss and couldn’t remove it, needing my Dartmoor lichen spiky brush!
More alarming was the amount of loose blocks just perched near the top.
All this indicates how quickly high routes deteriorate through non-use, due to Covid etc, even in just 4 years.
