Rockfax Description
The arete has tough moves to stand on the beak at half-height. A huge jug on the ledge is helpful. © Rockfax

βeta: Don't know what everyone's using the word "perplexing" for... Climb the arete, place gear, rock onto the nose of the arete, and finish. Easy HVS, easy 5b, and very nice! | βeta? | |

βeta: Harder for the tall ? Long legs are a bit of a hinderance when trying stand up in the break, although the double knee-bar was amusing | βeta? | |

βeta: For full benefit, both for leader and spectators, this really must be an onsight lead, and not having seen any one else climb it! A fine route packed with fun and problems for a testing VS at 4c / 5a depending on your height.Chris | βeta? | |

βeta: Well, I thought it was good fun and a definite step up from most of the VS's on this edge, so worth HVS in my view. | βeta? | |
