UKC Logbook - 'C.M.C. Slab'

16m.

Rockfax Description
Keep as near as possible to the centre of the slab left of Heather Wall, with the occasional runner in that route. It is a grade or two harder without these. © Rockfax

Martin Cleaver	4 Sep, 2006	Show βeta βeta: glad to hear you wer allowed side runners. i used one just below the crux. all the gear is worthless if you fall. thinking this route was hvs whilst climbing made me very scared.. so its a relief to know its koads harder like it felt.. top route though	βeta?

Dale Berry	30 Oct, 2005	Show βeta βeta: For all who think the gear in Heather Wall spoils the route, a pink tricam fits very nicely in the obvious pocket that is easily reached just before the start of the crux sequence. May be a good E1 without the side runners using this...	βeta?

Swirly	1 Nov, 2004	Show βeta βeta: Even with side runners it's still abit of a fall off the crux as you have to move well away from th crack. I should know cos i fell off.	βeta?

Dale Berry	25 Jul, 2004	Show βeta βeta: In reply to Chris the Tall: "Follow the slab just left of Heather Wall arranging protection in that route" From the '91 BMC Froggatt guide. I agree with runners in Heather Wall its soft for HVS, but without surely it would be worth at least 1 E-point.	βeta?

Chris the Tall	25 May, 2004	Show βeta βeta: A lot harder than I remember, so I reckon I must have done it with side runners last time. The guide ought to say whether the grade reflects the use of side runners.	βeta?

Dale Berry	12 Apr, 2004	Show βeta βeta: A rather nice piece of slab climbing. Technically much harder than 3PS, though with the side runners, more reliably protected. Hats off to anyone who solos it though...	βeta?

r@bag	1 Jun, 2003	Show βeta βeta: Good, tricky slab climbing. I wouldn't do it without the side runners although this makes it quite artificial.	βeta?

Jon Greengrass	15 Apr, 2002	Show βeta βeta: If you go direct up the slab which is the obvious line for a route independent of heather wall. It is much harder than 3PS with technical moves well above the gear. PS remember the micro wires or micro friends if you don\\\'t want a big fall from the hard moves near the top.	βeta?
