UKC

81m, 2 pitches.

Rockfax Description
Delicate, sustained and excellent. The route is not well protected and is prone to seepage on the initial crack and upper crux - care required if at all damp, especially on the upper part of P2. Approach by following Indirect Start to Senior's Ridge to its traverse then continue direct to the base of the clean grey ribs.
1) 4a, 35m. Start up the main corner for 20m then trend left across the bubbly slab to a rib. Balance up this to a small stance and high belay under the overlap.
2) 4b, 40m. Climb through the bulge then move left and head up the vague rib on good holds to the overlap high above. Jig left and right through this and finish up the final slab, carefully avoiding any wetness. © Rockfax

βeta: P2 is more than 40m, more like 48 by the time you've reached a solid belay block. Trying on a 40 will lead you to a very uncomfortable belay in a damp corner or runout slab.

βeta: Dire! Possibly got completely off track after the bulge. Maybe thrown off trying to avoid a loose flake that’s previously/still used for a runner. Maybe get accurate route info/photos before heading up.

βeta: Pitch 2. Loose small flake followed by loose small V shaped crack just after you pull over the bulge. And bold top section.

βeta: Great route that it is, I think this is still undergraded at VS. Pitch two is sustained 4c with very little gear. That's HVS in my book.
