βeta: Frank Cannings is right the route is pictured wrong and stupidly I followed the guide picture as I thought I knew the line having climbed most of the routes on the east wall. Also i climbed as E1 5b one star In fact if I had checked here it's hard E2 5c but a great route. What I would say is the rock is liable to break as a good hand hold pulled off without warning it looked part of the base rock but wasn't. Having climbed Xanadu 3 or 4 times because it's so good, I always left Judas for another day. It's a hard classic you won't forget. | βeta? | |
