New route at Fat Camp - Cheak

Post by MCpl » Wed Aug 18, 2004 9:42 pm

The last project at Fat Camp in Cheak has now seen an FA and is open.
First, I have to give a "shout out" to my main man, Nick Sears, for letting me get the first ascent as he is too busy right now and opted to have the route open to the public as soon as possible. The route details are as follows:

Dominating Fat Wife - 5.12a, 4 bolts (10m). My worst nightmare. Its the line immediatly to the right of Buffet The Self Esteem Slayer. Start on the ramp as for Buffet. Stick clip the first draw, scary clip. Easy climbing over a short section leads to a funky crux. A bit of a reach for the chains. FA Martin Soon. Prep by Nick Sears.

I was with Marty... and confirm the grade of 12a. It looks hard but once you know where to go it goes down easy.

We got on it on the wknd, not knowing what it was. Did not have a stick-clip. A bit of a reach for the chains?? You could say that again! Key hold is too painful, what's with all the glue?..........

I don't know. I didn't prep it. I was just happy that nothing broke off. Good job to Nick.
