The short wall is desperate. Easier for the tall. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Desperate short wall with an easier solution (6b+ for the tall?) Stepping right of the bolts at the break. Go direct past every bolt for the true tick.

βeta: low 7a(6c++), there's a lot of beta options though. super direct feels quite steady. on repeat tries avoided all the good holds in the centre of buttress, makes it slightly more soft 7a. but a good intro to the grade, | βeta? | |

βeta: Felt 7a to me, same as the vast majority of people have also voted for on hear. Undercut block on the right in the break is now rattling, beware. | βeta? | |

βeta: Delightfully soft, maybe 6c? Does feel like half a 7a though, so maybe a good stepping stone i | ||

βeta: I worked this climb for a long time so am very familiar with a solution talked about in the comments climbing right of the bolts then back left near the top on jugs - not worth 7a and missing out some of the hardest moves. Those wanting to claim the true 7a tick need to take the true super direct line past each bolt. I managed it ok despite my 5ft 10in height and -2 ape index so you don't need to be an orangutan. | βeta? | |

βeta: Hold missing on the left above the break since last time I did this. Took some figuring out to get up the right hand side instead | ||

βeta: Route originally had single snapgate crab on the belay bolt, now also has 25kN maillon for safer toproping. | βeta? | |

βeta: Short route but packs a punch, if you don't have height on your side, try keeping to the right of the bolts to the first break. | ||
