Rockfax Description
The slanting V-shaped groove gives a well-protected battle that is a complete nightmare if at all greasy, and it nearly always is. © Rockfax

βeta: A desperately hard struggle that does nothing to reduce Burbage South's reputation as the home of fierce grit routes. A relatively straightforward initial crack (beware the polished footholds) suddenly tranforms into a tricky, moss-covered, thin crack (good gear) and a hideous mantel/flop onto a sloping ledge. Even then the small ledge above is flat, slopey and entirely lacking in decent holds! Would be worth a good E1 5c at any gentler crag... | βeta? | |
