Rockfax Description
175m. A fun line although the upper section is much better than the lower buttress, which is a little grassy in places.

1) 6a, 20m. Slabby, featured rock leads to a belay just above the tree tops.
2) 5c, 35m. Cross easy ground, past an optional abseil/belay and up some grassy grooves before climbing the slab above. At the top of the slab, cross the grassy ledge to belay beneath a steep wall.
3) 6b, 40m. Climb the wall via cracks and crimps before moving left at the top to a belay level with the top of a single tree.
Scramble down rightwards, via a short section of fixed rope, to belay beneath a wide crack.
4) 6b, 20m. The off-width crack might best be described as 'traditional'. Enjoy!
5) 6c, 25m. The thin flake-crack is as good as it looks but is no pushover. Luckily the difficulties are concentrated into the first 10m, after which the angle kicks back.
6) 6c, 35m. A long, tough but rewarding pitch to finish. Climb the steep, thin cracks to a hand-crack which is both technical and physical, and keeps coming right to the end. Step left towards the top of the pitch to reach the ridge crest and a well-positioned belay. Scramble up the ridge easily to reach the top of Catyoucha Man and the approach path. © Rockfax
