Second ascent. 50 point control on summit on OMM 2023 Long Score with Darren. Fast diagonal running descent from main ridge to here avoiding stones and boulders. Then a very steep descent down the grassy gully to NE of summit - overtaking a few other teams by sliding on our bottoms! All to reach a control below the Black Ladder cliffs - magnificent scenery. | Chris Pearson | 29/10/2023 |
