Rockfax Description
Climb steep ground on pockets to an easing midway up the arete. Move up and step left to finish up the crack pulling back right to the lower-off. Climbing directly up the right-hand side of the arete is a thin and fingery 6b+ variation finish. © Rockfax

omniscient_penguin	2 Jun, 2007	Show βeta βeta: A great climb with solid holds all the way up to that last section, but boy, am I relieved to see others found the direct route at the top tough for the grade. I kept poking these tiny little crimpy things and hopping from foot to foot convinced there was going to be some magic point of balance that would suddenly unlock an easy sequence. In the end I went left on the arete: much more manageable.

Wilbur	7 Sep, 2006	Show βeta βeta: in that case maybe the route description should be changed and it should be a 6a. Otherwise a bit of a pointless eliminate..	βeta?

Richard Horn	1 Sep, 2006	Show βeta βeta: Why would you not use the arete? You can easily reach the lower off with your right hand with your left hand round the arete, so you are hardly off route by using it.	βeta?

a_radiohead_fan	1 Sep, 2006	Show βeta βeta: did return to roissy and toe the line and this route had the hardest finish (in fact i fell off twice before i finally clipped the bolts). it is not 6a+ staying right. have no idea what the grade is but it is nails. maybe it was cos it was first route of the day who knows but definately stiff for the grade.	βeta?

robbelbin	9 Jun, 2005	Show βeta βeta: great route is more like 6b by staying right and not using left arete (only 1 move though) well worth doing I climbed it on 7/6/05	βeta?

Richard Horn	29 Mar, 2004	Show βeta βeta: Seemed right for the grade using the two small flakes just to the left of the arete approaching the top. The first is almost invisible due to the pattern of the rock. No need to go as far as the left as the crack though.	βeta?
