Originally a hard trad route with a superb headwall, it has been bolted and straightened out a little to give an excellent sport route. The original line started from the right.

UKC Logbook Description
Direct start to White Fright. Start 5M right of Alien and climb the wall right of a flake to a roof. Pull through the roof, step left and climb a short rib to a small roof. After a long reach step right and climb the fine wall via a series of side pulls. The climbing never really lets up till you clip the belay. There is a rest in the middle, however the upper wall is compact, solid and stunning with really continuously interesting climbing. 9 BR + BB

MarkJ1206	27 Apr	Show βeta βeta: Amazing route, sustained into a long move then a technical fingery crux and a spicy runout at the top. Left hand glued sidepull at the start is very loose and will fall off if pulled/stood on, glued undercut tooth to the right of the first bolt came off, I’ve kept it in case anyone wants to glue it back on. Start is still possible but is now a fair bit harder.	βeta?

Stoney Boy	4 Jul, 2022	Show βeta βeta: Although the start is new the rest of the route is the retrobolted version of White Fright which must have been a very serious E6, far more so than the routes on the left end of a similar grade. Not really sure this deserves a new name....	βeta?
