Steinbok NE buttress and East Face, info request

[Karl_Manzer]

Does anyone know if there have been any recent atempts on the NE buttress or East Face of Steinbok? By recent I mean since the Edwards-Spagnut route in 94.

 

Thanks in advance,

I don't think so. Give it a try, it's a beautiful line. Check access regarding the road/key/logging camp etc before you go.

Thanks Dru,

 

Do you know if Sean was sucsessful on the East face? Also do you know if John Black and Chris Rowe ever finished a route on the Winslow Wall?

I think Sean said the rock turned very bad partway up (around the highpoint of Burdo-Doorish)

 

Winslow Wall might have been finished off, you should ask John Black directly. Rob Richards also climbed a couple routes in the Stave but I don't know any details aside from what is on the map in the logging camp office.

 

Stemalot Steve and Reinhard Fabische tried the main buttres at the right edge of WinslowWall last summer and barely escaped with their lives.. Stemalot can tell you the story when he gets back from euroland.
