UKC Logbook - 'Nature's Raw'

45m. Excellent climbing up the clean face of Shining Wall. Climb the steep corner right of Carry on up the Khyber, then step right onto the face before being lured up the ramp. Climb up then rightwards into a recess below a final short corner. Abseil in-situ (May 2018)

Alasdair Fulton	14 Jul	Show βeta βeta: Did the top section of this on Here's Johnny. Very run out from the last solid pro and still tricky moves with delicate feet. A fall from the last hard move would not be pretty. Maybe some holds/gear have disappeared since the first ascent?	βeta?

John McKenna - Rockfax	11 Jul	Show βeta βeta: Not E1 and probably not even soft E2. An E1 leader would get a fright at the top on runout and serious 5b moves	βeta?

mark1atkins	13 May	Show βeta βeta: Agree with freudy_love.. woefully undergraded by smc at E1- more like hard E2. The final sentence in the smc guidebook states- "It looks blank but is covered in holds and protection" is very misleading. The upper wall is pumpy, maybe 5c, with sparse protection. My climbing partners all felt the same (it wasnt just me).	βeta?

freudy_love	26 Jul, 2021	Show βeta βeta: Think (hope!) I was too far right in the upper section and possibly found myself on the end of "Here's Johnny"? It was HOT and I was tired but there is no way what I was on was E1 5b. Managed to reverse back on to and finish up "Carry on up the Khyber" with the help of my last good cam as a bit of french-free. Partner had a go on second at the section I backed off from and was a ball hair from coming off. Thought I followed the line on the Topo from Highland outcrops south fairly well - this may be misleading perhaps???	βeta?
