Rockfax Description
One of the best hard routes in the Peak with a powerful start, a tricky technical crux and a beautiful upper wall. The crux is height-dependant - there is no one-size-fits-all solution here though, and knee-pads are pretty much essential. There is a bolted direct version which is still a project.

βeta: refined beta. heel-hook sharp jug with hands between side pulls for 3rd clip. Use closer left hand side pull and sink into the knee bar for crux. Climb headwall direct with right hand crimp side pull with thumb. climbed past the crux, fell off after a footslip. hopefully it'll go down next week | ||

βeta: Friend of mine snapped off a foothold through the traverse bit on the crux today. He was using it for a bit of a kneebar (not the usual one) so might mean a bit of a sequence change for some. | βeta? | |
