UKC Logbook - 'Byzantium'

50m. An exceptionally good wall climb on "predominantly" solid rock. Similar experience to Pagan, perhaps a touch easier?? Star at the diagonal fault and follow this up and rightwards for 8m (reasonable gear). At the pod pull out leftwards onto the wall and boldly weave your way up to the break, passing a poor peg. The climbing is never that hard but very bold. On arrival at the break, scurry back and fro along this seeking out the best gear. Cross the overlaps in the centre of the wall passing a poor situ thread. (Good gear in next break). Continue up the wall more steeply and past better gear to a peg. Make harder moves passing this and another peg above. Easier ground and the top follows.

Littlejohn & Hardwick 12/Mar/1987.

Steve Long	13 Jul, 2020	Show βeta βeta: Climbers less than 5'10" or with normal "ape index" should take care to plug several cams in below the first of the pegs in the headwall. Taller climbers can clip the top peg before committing, but otherwise if the peg rips (it's not bombproof) you are totally reliant on the cams holding.
