UKC Logbook - 'Sun Streets'

30m, 2 pitches.

Rockfax Description
An exposed climb in a good position. The second pitch is poor.
1) 5b, 15m. Climb a short groove to the right of a pointed block to reach its capping roof. Move out left and up before climbing back right to a hanging arete. Climb to the faultline (poor belay - better to move right and belay in the corner of Snowdrop).
2) 5b, 15m. Pull over a roof and climb a crack, just right of the arete, to a roof. Step left onto the arete and follow it to the top. © Rockfax

matt perks	21 Feb, 2005	Show βeta βeta: This route is well worth doing. The first pitch is pretty steady although I thought the arete was a bit too precarious for waltzing. The belay at the fault is semi-hanging and requires gear in the crack above the roof for it to be bombproof (you can place this with your feet on the fault ledge). There aren't really any 5c moves on the second pitch but it is steep and exposed until past the roof.	βeta?
