Ace thrutchy chimney if not a bit really damp! Horrendous amount of midges!! Abseiled off to the left of the route at the chimney top out, ropes got tangled, then tangled again in a tree. Stuck with the horrendous midges at the top shouting at Elg to hurry the F up. At the bottom I discovered that his fate had been much worse, and his task of untangling had been beset by swarms of midges in the groove. Great route, shouldn't have left the repellent in the car.
