UKC Logbook - 'Long Rock Eliminate'

Rockfax Description
A good direct line right up the middle of the slab. Start 4m right of the arete as for Midnight Cowboy.
1) 5a, 18m. Climb directly up thin cracks to the apex of the first overlap at 9m. Continue up twin thin cracks above before moving up left to the red/brown sloping stance of Midnight Cowboy. Belay on good wires.
2) 4c, 35m. Move up rightwards through the overlap as for Midnight Cowboy and up to a small overlap. Take the thin line slightly rightwards until the rock becomes broken and vegetated. Finish slightly leftwards with care. Midnight Cowboy or Kinkyboots give a better more stable finish. © Rockfax

richardsavill	21 Jul, 2020	Show βeta βeta: Definitely worth putting a line down for the top third of the top pitch, knocked a big grass ledge (foothold!?!?) off whilst scrambling up the choss, luckily had seen this might happen so was heading right, to not be directly above my belayer. Great first pitch though, felt easier than Kinkyboots...

cpoad	31 Aug, 2018	Show βeta βeta: The top third of the second pitch is scrambling over mud ledges that might give way and rocks that wobble without any decent gear. Strongly recomend putting a rope down from the stakes above before leading this, and others on this slab. Nice climbing on first and first 2/3rds of second pitch though.	βeta?
