Rockfax Description
The ultra-sketchy slab left of Piece of Mind is easy (ish) on a top-rope, but a mighty-bold solo. Some say it is only E7 6b but only those who are interviewed while balancing precariously at the top of the slab are really allowed to comment. © Rockfax

βeta: What a sensational slab, enjoyed the head pointing process and loved going for the solo. Such amazing moves in a fantastic position. Leaving the good footholds really gets your heart racing. | βeta? | |

βeta: Purple-Green WC Offset goes in the flared vertical crack a bit over halfway up. Pretty sure it would catch a fall from anywhere on the route, so probably makes it no harder than E6, maybe even easier. Fair play to everyone who soloed it. | ||

βeta: Done on a shunt today. Lacking the pebbles from when I soloed it 18 years ago. Not over hard but 2 big rock ups, 1 on a poor smear. Going have to repeat now. Same grade as piece of mind. Never E8, E7 even feels overgraded | βeta? | |

βeta: I am not sure that it is 6c. I found the few other 6cs that I have done much harder (for the record I flashed Obsession on top rope, repeated it on a couple of other occasions and then did it on the sharp end) | βeta? | |

βeta: On a cold dry day, shocking straight forward... until the final couple of moves. Must be terrifying to lead; so if toproping take extreme care to avoid clumsy footwork or rope damage. | ||
