Langscar ‘fatal attraction’

There is no doubt that Langscar’s ‘attraction’ of easy access is countered somewhat by its potential for a ‘fatal’ outcome as boulders large and small hailed down on us from above. Nonetheless, adorned with hard hats (except for Keith whose head is hard enough anyway) we tackled V Groovy (S) and Crown of Thorns (VS **) before deciding that a top rope was the only sensible option if we were going to continue.

Numb Fingers (VS 4b) probably deserves a *, while The Tower (F6b) and Lurcher (F6c) proved wildly overambitious.
