[Kenny on Four for Texas, E2 5b, Carn Gowla(Cornwall), 3 kb]The right-hand thin crack in the pink wall is another good pitch in a similar mold to Rainbow Games. Start below the crack. 33m. Climb the thin lower wall to better holds and a thread. Continue carefully up the middle of the wall on good holds. © ROCKFAX

Biggest holds ever, is there even any 5a on the route? Lacks the (5b) technical/mildly bold start of Rainbow Games, thus 1/2 a grade easier. Gear a bit naff in places.

Great! A good one for me to headpoint in order to get an E tick!!! Climbing straightforward and gear tricky to place. Could figure out gear and then climb it. Good conditions required!

Currently given E2 5b which is generous but maybe E1 leaders would struggle with the pump and gear placements. Perfect sunny day made Gowla seem surprisingly benign.

A great wall, slightly overhanging, somewhat intimidating, with plenty of juggy pockets (buckets). Pumpy climbing!

/did the come in from right variant and the rainbow games finish variant. Makes it HVS/E1 and a fine way up the wall
