Rockfax Description
The sister route to Ben is an equally fine experience with the same combination of sustained climbing and good gear. Low in the grade. Start just left of the lowest section of the ledge.
Climb the crack rightwards to the left of a square-cut overlap at 8m. © Rockfax

βeta: Nice varied moves on this. Just as thin on top as 'in her eyes' but felt less so. | βeta? | |

βeta: You don’t need to worry about pulling on dodgy flakes near the top as it’s all gone. Instead you have smooth featureless slab. The penultimate move to safety is now far in excess of 4a tech grade, and considering the 10 metre drop onto dodgy gear, far more than HS would have you believe. Time for a regrade, and I need a new set of pants. | ||

βeta: Good, but the top is very bold and the line fades out a bit. Watch what flakes you pull on near the top | ||
