Pigeons
Summary
~6 to 10 pitches. We only did the upper section of encasement, climbed out
once if started opening up but more falls continue below. Escapable most of the way except
the short crux section. Would be a good high-water trip/alternative/add-on to Eagles next
door. As seen in Find Mòr film.
