UKC

24m. Start as for Kicker Conspiracy. Follow KC for a few, up moves and a few bits of good gear. When KC traverses left, continue up. A rest of a kind, with small and poor protection, can be taken, before hard moves lead to the break beneath the more overhanging wall above and the first of two pegs. Traverse right until beneath the second peg. Pull the small roof and move up using big, but not very helpful holds, (that are a reasonable distance apart!) and a couple more hard moves lead to a good crimp. From the crimp, move right onto the arête. The guidebook description describes moving completely around the arête to a second groove which is followed, to move right again at the top. A more direct finish pulling left from the arête into the base of the obvious big groove, and climbing this to the top, has also been climbed.

Adam Wainwright. 10/Jun/1992.

βeta: Fantastic route, Pegs replaced more or less like for like (2019) after one of the originals crumbled.

βeta: Great to do this many years after belaying Adam on the first ascent. Pegs seemed in reasonable condition, the first one can be backed up with good wires. Brilliant route.
