UKC

20m. A crag classic. The large roofed corner stating at the fallen Larch. Sustained climbing up the corner leads to the roof. Sensational climbing out the left side of the roof via the deep slitting crack leads quickly to the top. **** in Scottish Rock.

βeta: The block came loose when I grabbed it, I secured myself and the belayer and then pushed it. That was very dangerous and I'm thankful for the warnings... I cleaned the hold and I don't think it changes the grade.

βeta: Climbed Anger and Lust today having previously climbed it a few years ago. That block is so much looser than before. Extreme caution required.

βeta: The block is not VERY loose and there is a good risk of hitting the ropes / belayer when it falls off. The flake holds just up from the block are loose also, as is the good edge flake used to move off the platform at the base.

βeta: Medium sized loose block on right hand side at roughly 2/3rds height - be careful. Belayer can go to right and be sheltered by roof.
