UKC Logbook - 'Mr. Ruckle'

91m, 4 pitches.

Rockfax Description
A fine, mid-height traverse of this exciting area. Before starting it is necessary to pre-place a rope on the twin stakes above the Lean Machine Area for the final belay. Described here with a less serious start than originally climbed.
1) 5a, 30m. Start up Solitude and traverse rightwards across the Zoolookologie bay (thread). Continue past a slight prow and vague scoop. Belay down and right of a cracked pillar.
2) 4c, 35m. Climb down and right and then traverse a weakness past various old threads in the centre of a bay, to a comfortable stance on the far side in a groove.
3) 4c, 15m. Follow the corner to a dirty exit onto a terrace. Pull out on the pre-placed rope to finish. © Rockfax
