UKC

Rockfax Description
Steep and fierce finger-jamming on pitch one. Start below the big corner of Barbarian.
1) 10m. Scramble up to the tree below the slab.
2) 5c, 20m. Climb up left through a narrow chimney to gain the finger-crack. Power impressively up this, not forgetting to place runners, to a small roof. Make a testing move left round this and traverse right to the belay on Barbarian.
3) 6a, 25m. Climb Barbarian for 4m through an overlap, then move left across the wall on surprisingly good holds past a peg to gain Silly Arete. Finish up this. © Rockfax

βeta: Super fun! Bit of a finger biter but really engaging,exciting climbing the whole way up. Took a pretty substantial fall quite near the top and ended up quite near the ground but was fine thanks to rachel’s bomber belay skills! Was very exciting. Pulled the ropes and went again which felt much flowier although still a bit inelegant at the top of the crack! Pull over the roof a little tricky to read but not as powerful as the crack. Mega route.

βeta: Forgot how good this was. Awesome looking line. Excellent sustained safe climbing up the crack. Was pretty pumped above the tat (crux for me). Turning the roof was alright. Took the top pitch this time. Quite tricky to get going (hidden wire/cam on left), didn’t have mircos but there’s some small (not crucial) kit, then it’s ok after the peg. Still found Silly Arête a bit scary. Save a blue+silver dragon plus a rock4, that’s basically all i got...
