Sub Rosa is the first line of equipped bolts you encounter und the main roof of the cave. Follow the thin crack in the roof to the first lip. Once round the lip, head further into the cave and up to a rest on a solid stein. Continue towards the corner and then up to the lower-off at the 2nd lip. The slot next to the 2nd bolt has been re-drilled, so the grade has been dropped back to the original D10. If you decide to skip the re-drilled slot, the big reach between bolts 1 and 3 adds a + to the grade.

βeta: Just to be clear, when this route was done by the original FA and subsequent ascents, the long move at the start didn’t exist, there was an intermediate hold there. Now that’s been filled making it harder, and all other routes coming off it. Not quite sure why but that’s the state of affairs | βeta? | |

βeta: The last slot before the lip blew today (impressive fall by Neil, captured on video). Neil drilled it so it’s ok again. | βeta? | |
