UKC Logbook - 'Empire of the Sun'

23m.

Rockfax Description
One of the West Country's great sport routes. Start beneath a pocketed weakness. Move up on good pockets and then swing right to good jams in the horizontal break at 6m. Make a hard move to a good pocket then lurch up the wall, first leftwards and then back right to a final move to easier ground. © Rockfax

FA. Nick White, Pete Bull, Andy Turner Mar/1988.

midgets of the world unite	11 Jul, 2005	Show βeta βeta: I'd like to add, I don't think a photo-topo works very well for this wall, where much of it is obscured, or for the ferocity wall either, where the routes are identified by subtle features. The old line-topos in the old guide were much better.	βeta?
