Rockfax Description
An outstanding pitch and one of the areas best 7b's that gives sustained technical climbing. Hard moves up the lower bulges gain a rest at the break from where a couple of reaches between good holds lead to the top. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
The bulging wall and arete to the left of East of Sweden.
A few stiff pulls lead to an overlap on the right. Undercut rightwards then reach up to a good flake hold. One last reach gets you to good incuts just under the break and then a rest. The meat of the upper arete is one big reach between good holds.
Matt Ward 25/Jun/1988.

βeta: Ridiculous that some people loop around right to a jug on a different route that is 4 grades easier and completely skip the crux. | βeta? | |

βeta: Tightened up the second bolt with a spanner, not sure how long it will last without some more torque. Even loose it would have been a long way from coming off though. | ||

βeta: Awesome route. I guess 6B+ Boulder into ace rest and then fun moves on the head wall. Felt stiff | βeta? | |
