Sentinel Standard Route

Thanks for posting back Gollum, nice pics. Sorry you didn't make it, but I guess thats Berg climbing for you. I have yet to complete my own attempt too after being washed off the route by rain a while back. Don't have any info on Wilrico Ras.

If you have massive cams and hexes you can place plenty deep in the crack that the chimney narrows into on McLeods Variation...but these isn't really practical, I certainly didn’t have much that went in initially. I vaguely remember about 4, maybe 5 placements. The first placement was close to the bottom - a BD #1 cam. You'd probably still hit the ground but it would spare you the inconvenience of rolling down the grass slope (with broken ankles). Thereafter I think I got a nut in behind a flake - not very solid...this was well into the stemming bit already. The only placement that I remember feeling really good was the long cord I slung around the big chockstone at the top, but by this time the climb is almost done. It's not a scary chimney though...pretty fun. There is a grass-piton type peg among the rocks about 2m or so from the top of the pitch to build a stance with, but use at least one other anchor too.

There is a GPS data file available in the downloads section.
