Rockfax Description
Magnificent climbing up the diagonal cracks in the left wall of Owl Gully. Start by a thin horizontal crack and swing left. Make some hard moves past where it splits, then continue along the rising juggy diagonal to the arete and a good rest. Step back right and pull over the roof finishing with a steep mantel. © Rockfax

βeta: Using a low good hold with your left hand on the diagonal descending from the bifurkation sets you up better for the move | ||

βeta: I found those crux moves to pass the bifurcation *desperate* - hardest 5c moves I've ever done, but then I can't do 1-arm lockoffs with no footholds... In comparison, the rest of the route is easy! | βeta? | |
