Rockfax Description
A nice variation on the original line that gives a bit more of a challenge in its first half.
1) 4b, 18m. Tackle the twin cracks in the steep wall above the pool, making full use of a leg-jam in the big hole to get established. Above, wander easily up cracks to the belay ledge.
2) 4b, 16m. Climb the smooth crack in the wall above the ledge, on holds that are not as useful as they look.
3) 13m. East Ridge pitch 3.
4) 24m. East Ridge pitch 4. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Good variations on the first two pitches of the parent route. Start 2m right of East Ridge beneath twin cracks.
1) 17m, 4b. Follow the twin cracks steeply to an easing before a wide ledge.
2) 17m, 4b. The crack in the centre of the back wall leads initially via polished holds to the ridge and the traditional finish of East Ridge.

βeta: Pitch 2 seemed outrageous for HS, even ignoring the polish. After downclimbing and reattempting the crux 3 or 4 times, ended up cleaning the gear and taking the arete pitch. | βeta? | |
