Rockfax Description
A superb sustained line with a stiff finish if taken direct. Begin as for Fear's Younger Brother at a flowstone crack. © Rockfax

βeta: Start to finish was a fun route. Tough final section, deserving of 6b grade if taken directly imo, slightly easier if you work your way to the left to reach the anchor bolts. | ||

βeta: There's a knee bar on the direct finish which makes life a lot easier. There's still a fingery hang to clip the LO, but your arms will have a little more in them. Also getting your weight to the right helps when clipping the LO. | ||

βeta: The finish would be a stopper if you're pushing your grade on this route, the rest is fairly easy for 6a+. Great climbing though, go do it! | βeta? | |

βeta: The finish of this route is really quite hard for 6a+. Keep left to make it a bit easier but you still have a fingery hang to clip the belay. | βeta? | |
