So, a thread for discussions pertaining to matters related to routes and route setting at the PEC wall:
Today I set a swirley red/yellow route on Panel 6. It can be done either feet on features (estimated at 6b+) or holds (estimated at 6c+). It is side-pulley, mantley and awaits a first lead.

Look forward to having a go at it!
There's been a lot of setting activity at the wall recently, with much of the wall revamped. There's also a new A3 laminated routes list up on the glass, with the routes written on it marker. This can be wiped of with acetone (or Vodka, apparently) if you're re-setting.

Yes deffo has to be brought up, I think perhaps the incentive of a stiff drink would make us better climbers?? |

Whites on panel 8 are awesome for a wee warm up, and the purples on panel 11 |

Alek, I tried the swirlies FOH. Repeatedly awkward, which I'm sure is what you wanted.

Swirlies FOH are excellent, with one or two smears thrown in.

New route over the cave!
Greys 6b - Rónán
Awesome start moves - a bit dynamic for the height impaired folk. Pre-clip first bolt otherwise you will be taking you body to a world of pain if you fall! Wee bit pumpy for the rest of the route if you don't work out the opening sequence right.
Really nice route (in the words of the Swiss Man - FUCKING AWESOME!)
