[Dan looking serious on the toilet, 3 kb]22m. One of the more popular technical routes at the Tor. Climb to the top of the prominent flake then move up and traverse left via hard moves on poor footholds. Continue direct via more hard and reachy moves to pull onto the slab and an easier finish. © ROCKFAX
FA. Steve Lewis 1988. It has become much harder since the first ascent.

nice climbing...
Joughton - TR - 11/May/12

All the moves done, which was a surprise. I don't think I have the chutzpah to link this through the powerful undercut moves, but I'm going to plug away anyway because it feels like good training.

Hard! Fingery crux needs more attention before I'll be ticking this bad boy.
loundsy - TR dog - 07/Apr/11 with debbie

Full of cold. First working go knocked a foothold off on step left. First redpoint Got to gaston/last hard move first redpoint but couldnt hold it. Next go fingers slipped on flake on crux trav left. Walk. 3rd go got it just. God knows how many days Ive been on it this year.

3rd go, 7c+/8a? Who knows.....polished foot traverse spoils what is a good route....lovely character building run out at top! :)

F.A. My favourite new route at Raven Tor. Loss of hold's has made it harder than the original 7c grade but is it really 8a? Maybe I'll do it again sometime to check it out.
