Suspense >>
[Avon at its Best., 3 kb]One of the Avon Gorge's most famous pitches that usually pulls in a crowd of viewers on the suspension bridge. Start on a good ledge 5m right of the arete below a pocketed crystal crack and just right of a vegetated groove. 30m. Move up the crack and then head left to a small groove that leads to a ledge system at 10m. Head left to the arete and make some tricky moves to a wide, pocketed runnel. Take the runnel to a horizontal break and move right into an easier finishing corner. Belay and abseil post on the left. © ROCKFAX

Good climbing in a fine position. Found it more awkward than I expected, both getting up to the chimney, then moving up it. Think HVS is fair. But first trad route of year: some shiny new gear, but some rusty skills!

Fell (slipped) while resting, foot slipped off damp foothold. Very frustrating, felt easy for HVS
Foxy - Lead dog - 05/Jul/12

Normally I'm a massive wuss when I push my grade on lead but this was fine :) Some parts are a bit run out but the hard moves are adequately protected. I don't agree with Rockfax's 'sustained' symbol as it wasn't pumpy and there aren't lots of hard moves.
Katherine Ross - Lead β - 20/Jun/12 with Jonny Raines

Feet were agony by the time I reached the top. Both the toes and heels so couldn't avoid it. Distracted from the climbing. They must have swelled in the heat or something.

Very easy for an HVS. Starts with a vdiff grade scramble up to a decent ledge. Plenty of good holds along the way, though take a good number of cams for the odd little pockets. Nut placements are less frequent. The crux comes about half way up the runnel but apart from being slightly exposed there's a good left hand pull to get through it. There are also a large number of threads, remembering this advice about dynamic strength of dyneema slings when you anchor at the top around the excellent abseil point: http://dmmclimbing.com/knowledge/how-to-break-nylon-dyneema-slings/ The peg at the top has a square top for the belay and ab back down. Me and TNM did the climb on a single 60m rope and the ab back down left us with a metre of rope to spare.

Great climb, two distinct cruxes (a move up a slab to reach the chimney, then a move up the chimney itself), but with bomber gear wherever you want it. Slightly morbid - the police were retrieving a body from the river while we climbed.

Great route but felt unusually nervy on it. The groundfall potential at about 12 metres (on fairly easy ground) had something to do with that but more likely the unusual sense of exposure on the Butress.
