UKC

30m. The main corner feature, finishing through the roof left of the corner. Climb the corner until it is possible to traverse left along an obvious break to gain a hanging corner above. Climb this to the roof and undercut rightwards to gain a short finishing corner above, which gives a meaty finish.

E2 5c in the SMC Skye sea-cliffs guide, E1 5c in the Gary Latter guide.

βeta: Removed the spooky hanging block today, after it had given Tom a scare by moving when he pulled on it. Climbs a bit differently now but no harder, if anything slightly easier.

βeta: Maybe I’ve got a low tolerance for sketchy blocks but that hanging block on the right is totally gonna go soon. Defo get your E2 tick for not yarding on it.

βeta: I pulled a big jug off the crux of this at the top. It is probably harder now; the jug was the top part of the slightly spooky block on the right
