Glasgow Kiss F7a+, Slate

The one-man-slate-new-routing-machine that is Ian Lloyd-Jones has climbed another bolted slab line on The Gorbals Slab at the top of Australia Quarry

Glasgow Kiss F7a+ climbs the line of 11 bolts left of The Gorbals.

“Straightforward climbing up the lower slab eventually leads to a far more intense section which provides some good technical slate slab climbing. Again, I’m not sure of the grade as it’s more sustained than Pulverised at F7b, I always find it really difficult to grade routes that are ‘my style of climbing’….”

Explained Ian, before adding:

“It looks a bit squeezed in on the topo due to the angle the photo was taken from, it is however totally independent and well away from The Gorbals and See Yer Bruce.“
