Rockfax Description
The most difficult climb at Scout Scar by a margin. Hard moves through the bulges are rounded off by a big move leading to easier climbing above. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Mistakenly recorded as 'Sylvester Strange' in at least 3 guidebooks over the years. Sylvester Straits refers to the climb immediately to the left (First Blood) and what was, at the time the climb immediately to the right (Telegraph Road). If you're old enough, you'll work out the reasoning easily. Mark Lardner's tough offering 'Meet The Wife' interrupted the sequence a few years later. Fight your way up just right of the widest part of the overhangs where they start to arch rightwards.

Jim Bird, C Lewis 1986.
