Noah's Warning

HVS 5a

Adjacent Climbs
<< Pharaoh's Wall

Ramases Wall >>

A superb route that is high in the grade 1) 4c, 40m. Follow the striking crack, turning a tricky bulge on the left to reach a ledge 2) 5a, 28m. Follow the wide crack above to a steep flake. Move right into a faint scoop and head up to a thin crack. Scramble or climb off as for Spiral Stairs. © ROCKFAX

About 2m in the middle of the first pitch was absolutely soaked, had to back off as the holds were literally dripping on me and I couldn't find any friction at all.

wi11 - Solo O/S - 14/Nov/11

Lead both pitches. P1 was steeper than expected but big holds and loads of gear. Really enjoyed P2.
jezb1 - Lead - 05/Nov/11

An interesting climb with a lot of in and outs (almost like coves/scoops between steep bits on first pitch). Not sure if it was routing issues but ended up climbing over holly bush in one of scoops and having to avoid heather when finally topping out. Some nice undercut handholds and jugs. Pitch 2 a pleasure really enjoyable.
lizzyb - 2nd O/S - 05/Nov/11 with Jez

Steeper than it looks and fairly intimidating, but probably just about VS. Went a bit too far left on P1 and ended up with a scary runout.
