UKC

18m.

Rockfax Description
A good pitch that packs in lots of fine moves. Pull out right above the overhang on hidden holds and continue past another roof to reach a break. Swing left to the arete and finish up the final wall past some side-pulls. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Climbs the left arete of Crawl Buttress.
Pull over the initial roof on a good hidden hold then move up and right to a stretch over the next roof to a good hold. A powerful pull brings a small crimp into reach, then the break. Traverse left around the arete and a couple of layaways lead to jugs and the belay

βeta: The footholds at the bottom of the very first roof that you awkwardly stem left and right on are loose. A smaller, closer chunk on the right came off. It's now slightly harder without this and if the other two come off it will be perhaps almost impossible to start. Be careful if belaying underneath.

βeta: 4th draw hanger is horizontal pointing R. Tends to jam the draw upwards. Careful if leading, could be a krab breaker.

βeta: Really good and right at the upper limit of the grade. Very Ban-Y-Gor! Big moves, small holds, unusual feet and great fun!
