Stiffer Upper Lip
Pete robins has done the extension to Stiff Upper Lip at 8b at pigeons.The original is a cool roof line but it finishes in a rather random place as the first ascentionist George Smith lowered his original lower off as he was struggling to get it done.Above georges chain is a cool boulder problem to the top of the crag. When stiff upper got re equipped last year so whole line was bolted by Pete Harrison as we weren't sure what went on.Jordan has already bagged the 2nd ascent.This makes a trio of mega 8bs on the orme alongside Melancholie and Youthanasia. If you like things a bit shorter and sharper then Carinthian Groove awaits a second ascent still.

Is the lower lower off still there for us weakling?! I might have to have a play, as I looked at it years ago and the bolts were janky but it looked awesome.
Effort to Pete and Jordan
The lower lower off was re equipped too so get on it.ace route
