UKC Logbook - 'Mendes'

3 pitches.

Rockfax Description
Excellent climbing that is sustained and pumpy but on generally good holds. Start under the long low overhang.
1) 4c, 35m. Traverse left to below a groove at the left end of the low overhang. Climb the wall left of the groove, then transfer across it to the right wall and follow it to a terrace.
2) 4a, 10m. Climb the wall above via a crack to a belay. Finish and descend as for Middlefell Buttress or abseil from the left end of the ledge (looking in). © Rockfax

DavidR	15 Jul, 2021	Show βeta βeta: Please note that there's a large loose block at the very top of the 2nd pitch of Mendes. It's basically the block folk are likely to use as a belay as there are cracks around it, but the whole thing showed signs of movement earlier. Please take extra care.	βeta?

Rog Wilko	4 Sep, 2010	Show βeta βeta: Though I've done this route on several occasions it never fails to give me a buzz. Holds are so good it's not really harder than 4b. Ran pitches 1 & 2 together which saves using the very inconvenient stance and improves the route.	βeta?
