Dialectic (variation) >>
[Sue on Dialectic , 3 kb]An enticing and much-attempted pitch with good gear. Start below an open corner right of Ra. 18m. Move up to the crack in the blunt arete right of the corner, and climb this with difficulty to the large mid-height break. Pull up into the continuation crack and take this to the top. The lower section can also be climbed via the corner on the left or the wall to the right at about the same grade. © ROCKFAX
