An interesting day. Bit of an (embarrasing) epic :)Mark lead the first 4m or so, then I lead past him. Rock very greasy; didn't help that it rained as I lead. I could't get up the corner, put in two pieces of gear and slowly downclimbed/lowered to Mark's belay at pinacles. Mark led again followed by me who lead to a ledge. Couldn't climb higher as rock too greasy. I set up a belay, brought mark up and lower him off the route whilst he tested the ab rope. Mark climbed round and dropped a rope to me. I ab'd the 25m down the gully on a 50m rope (to avoid an ab' from the pinnacle and having to leave gear behind.
