35ft Pitch

Often referred to as Dolphin Pitch

Request Received: October 2020

The current bolts that are in place, are in my opinion becoming quite dodgy and ideally should be backed up to other belay points if possible.

This area would benefit well from new trusted resin anchors as it receives a large amount of traffic, including among student groups who may not have experience in evaluating the condition of spits or similar style anchors.</description>

To request that CSCC consider placing anchors in a place where there are currently none, or that may benefit for additional anchors, please bring it to a CSCC meeting by filling in the anchor request form below.

The list below details previous request and other intended work. A rejection in the past does not mean that the same place should not be submitted again, attitudes change over time.</description>
