UKC Logbook - 'The Earl of Perth'

46m, 2 pitches.

Rockfax Description
A great route giving steep climbing on an uncompromising line.
Start on the ledge at the base of the wall just right of Limbo.
1) 5b, 23m. Take the right-hand line of thin cracks to ledges beneath the right side of the black bulges, thread. Steep climbing through the bulges on good pockets gains a strenuous perch at a large pocket. Pull steeply out right and up to better holds and a little further a hanging stance at a horizontal break.
2) 5a, 23m. Enter the long groove above the stance and follow it all the way to ledges that allow a short traverse left to a belay and abseil point at a large rock anchor. © Rockfax

just one more	10 Jul	Show βeta βeta: As reported already, there is a lot of loose rock on the crux, where you pull right out of the large pockets. Hard to avoid and it's big, go very steady!	βeta?

Evieosborn	3 May	Show βeta βeta: Pulled a head sized block off just after you step right after the crux (about 7m up from the overhang) there’s a fairly obvious muddy scar from where it came off but there’s defo some other loose blocks in the same place that will easily come off.	βeta?
