UKC Logbook - 'George'

38m.

Rockfax Description
One of the best routes in the dale - a big pitch, steep sustained and in a superb situation. Several old pegs remain though plenty of more modern alternatives are available. Climb straight up the tricky fingery wall into the base of the slanting fault of John Peel. Follow this until it starts to lean to the right and awkward, exposed moves can be made out onto the face on the left. Climb steeply into the long crack and then follow it all the way to the cliff top. © Rockfax

midgets of the world unite	24 Apr, 2019	Show βeta βeta: I think the combination of Topo and description makes the start of this route hard to identify. If I understand correctly, it actually starts up a faint groove/crackline immediately right of the tree in the gully.	βeta?

Chris the Tall	16 Jul, 2005	Show βeta βeta: Awesome!! Crux is low down (jct with JP) and a long reach helps clipping the 2nd peg, but the route is really sustained that reaching the summit is really satisfying.	βeta?
