There's not really any route choice once you're funnelled into the gully (or coming up it on a clockwise BG) and it is pretty horrible in most conditions. On that wet and slippy afternoon the gully nearly did for Little Dave a couple of times.
flyingfinn Oct 2020 3:30pm, 19 Oct 2020 2,299 posts	Quote Pin flyingfinn FR it's more likely you actually appeared from just left of your yellow line (that certainly fits your trace). Red Gully is actually just tucked round the corner behind the left hand crag. Hidden under the top part of your yellow line (but just visible in the original) is trod on the rib that runs above the actually gully (on the east side) and which offers the fastest progress in the top half. The gully your red line is pointing at is a sheer drop at the top and as the ground slopes steeply in that direction it has a tendency to focus your mind rather if the conditions are tricky.
