UKC Logbook - 'Funny Bone'

38m, 3 pitches.

Rockfax Description
A great, steep and challenging line. Scramble up to the base. Move left and climb a short groove to a break. Move left again to make an awkward mantel onto a ledge. Mantel up again to the small sentry box. Move right to the main crack/groove. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Full of character and high in the grade, with two mantels. Starts in a groove at the front of the buttress, past the arête to the right of Biceps Wall.
1) 11m. 3b. The wall on the right of the groove to a thread belay on a ledge.
2) 11m. 4c. Out right, then a hand traverse and a mantelshelf to bring you to the 'cannon' of BW.
3) 16m. 4c. Right again and mantelshelf to a grassy recess. Then further right up a groove to a ledge and up a layback wide crack to the finish.

R James, RL Roberts 1959.
