Scorchio 18 m S
Posted by: Trevor Langhorne, 07.08.201629.05.2016, F Scrowston, C Scrowston A pleasant route up the gentle slab with a steep finish. Start by a hawthorn tree 15 m right of Elemental at the extreme right end of the buttress. Climb up leftwards behind the hawthorn to gain the slab. Follow the slab to a steepening, step left and ascend the steep wall on large holds. Route 14 on topo.
Another nice clean route on this crag.
This crag is a useful addition to Langdale climbing. The crag has easy access and is very quick to dry. There is a good selection of routes from severe to hard v.s. and they are all clean.
An extension to this route was climbed by Freya Scrowston in August 2020, giving a further 12m of climbing.
From the top of the steep wall (possible belay) a step left gains access to a second short cracked wall.
