From Grant Parkin:
Quiet Daze 5.8 125m
F.A. of full route- Grant Parkin, Trevor Jones. (Sep 2016)
F.A. for P1 Colin Hoglund, Grant Parkin. (May 2016)
Sentinel, South End. Located several meters left of Ambulance Chaser, the route Quiet Daze is a fully bolt protected five pitch route on generally good rock. Named after a comment I’d made about it being a quiet day when I equipped the first pitch and later realized I must have been in a daze when my four pitch project turned out to have five rappels/pitches.

Please do not identify the route in the media or in social media posts. The approach goes through delicate vegetation and prime wildlife habitat. Let’s keep the crowds down to minimize environmental impacts.
