Rockfax Description
The curving fissure splitting the left side of the buttress is novel. The start is awkward but the wide leaning section provides the crux (not much gear) and is best tackled on your back! © Rockfax

βeta: Woke up a bit sore, morning after a tussle with this one. Turns out I have a # R 8th rib. Was it worth it? Dunno, it was all a bit of a blur really. I do remember lying on my back at the top feeling relieved that it was all over. | βeta? | |

βeta: Puzzling, but the absurd crawling bit is a giggle, as the earlier comment says. | βeta? | |

βeta: ying dow nis definitely not the way to do it IMO, I nearly fell out seconding it! Would have been much easier just to stand up and walk up the slab, but I wanted to practice some "treaditional" techniques - notably humping the rock and grunting and laughing and slipping downwards all at once. Never vdiff, as James Mcn says, bold for the first 5-6 metres. | βeta? | |

βeta: A must do route if you like that sort of thing (and most people don\'t!) Only given VDiff in previous guides - I wouldn\'t have solo\'d it if it had been down as HS 4c! | βeta? | |
