A direct start to The Obsessed is tough. Start from the back. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Start under the roof at the back on a good hold and climb the roof to gain a juggy break above the lip. Various finishes are then possible, although most logical is probably directly up the left side of the arete. Note that if you drop off at the lip there is a separate entry on UKC, you need to go to the summit for the proper tick though!

βeta: Topped out straight up the face via the right hand pinch as per MTLs note. This is dead easy and adds nothing. Topping out via the arete slightly harder but not enough to change the grade. | βeta? | |

βeta: Three methods to finish. One going up from lip pocket to big jug rail then make balancey moves to climb arete on left (some videos online of this method). Alternative is to stay low and from the pocket move out under the arete to climb this on its right from a jug. Thirdly and easiest go straight up from the lip pocket with no arete via a stretch to an ergonomic pinch from the jug rail. | βeta? | |
