[Lost Cause (E4 6b), Back Bowden Doors, 3 kb]A good route with hard but safe (if you don't mind a bit of flight time) climbing. Reverse the last section of Duke of York then use the flake to make tough moves to reach better holds. Finish up the flake and flutings above. Photo on page 327. © ROCKFAX

Ticklists: Very good routes in the UK.
