UKC Logbook - 'Vía Missing Link'

130m, 2 pitches.

Rockfax Description
E3. A magnificent route up the Arete, which has lots of fixed gear of variable quality. A few nuts and threads are helpful to plug the gaps, or back-up the rust!
1) 3, 15m. As for El Dorado.
2) 6a+, 35m. From the sloping ledge, move right, then carefully down-climb to gain a low traverse-line. Follow this awkwardly, staying just above the water (difficult to protect) until it is possible to climb diagonally upwards (don't climb up too soon) to a scoop which leads to the hanging stance on the Arete.
3) 6b+, 45m. Power up the Arete above, first on the left, then on the right. From the diagonal break, either traverse left to gain the grassy ramp and abseil point, or:
4) 5a, 40m. Climb up the rib above to the top. © Rockfax

Gambit	1 Feb, 2020	Show βeta βeta: Not sure about the giudebook description for pitch 2. My partner had climbed 7B the day before and fell trying to take the low route to the belay. I tried this way and could not do it and then tried the middle way before ending up on the higher line at about 20ft above the sea.	βeta?

Chad123	24 Apr, 2006	Show βeta βeta: Great route, but both pitches can feel very hard when humid and slippy. The bolts on the arete and the nasty tat don't inspire confidence . Great position though and even the traverse pitch has it's moments!	βeta?

Dnmn	11 Feb, 2005	Show βeta βeta: the arete pitches into and out of the cave on luces nocturnas variation had reasonable fixed pro for the full length, though the bolts weren't 'new'.	βeta?
