Alison Rib >>
[Kate on Doorpost, 3 kb]Intimidating, but in practice a steady and rewarding pitch that provides a good alternative start to Alision Rib. Start just to the right of the open corner of In-Between at a low hanging rib of knobbly rock. 33m. Climb the hanging rib of knobbly rock - starting on its left or right - to the base of a steep wall at 8m. Climb the wall using a good crack to an easing at its top. Move up to an open groove and follow this pleasantly to join up with Alison Rib which is followed to the top. © ROCKFAX

Second climb of the day. I had climbed the first pitch of Alision Rib the day before and wanted a different start to the second pitch. The first 2-3 moves are really good fun. Easy climb. Second pitch is a bit more exciting and has one or two slightly awkward moves.
