UKC

Rockfax Description
12m. Start as for Peak Technique but, from the ledge, rock onto the right arete and palm a way up this - better holds soon arrive. This was a bold ascent for its day and it still is. The escape route of a leap for the ledge to the right is not recommended. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
A classic on-sight headgame up the right arete of the slab - easy, but committing. Swing left at the main break, then balance up the technical crux to get stood in the runnel (shallow cams), then the psychological crux reaching the obvious cam crack, before an arete romp to finish.
