UKC Logbook - ''C' Ordinary Route (Summer)'

Rockfax Description
The long narrowing buttress is a gratifying climb packed with interesting climbing. The climb is slightly more difficult than in the past as a result of the loss of a large spike of rock high on the route. Start 2m left of the toe of the buttress at a crack.

1) 16m. Climb to a large block, then head up leftwards to a steep flake-crack that leads to a ledge and belay.
2) 13m. Move up a short wall and step left to a ledge. An easy low-angled corner gains a belay ledge with a large square flake resting on it.
3) 11m. Traverse 3m left and climb easily up right to a ledge and belay.
4) 23m. Climb up leftwards to the crest of the buttress and follow this to a small ledge and belay. Good hidden cracks just up and left of the belay.
5) 12m. Move up to the base of a slab and follow it rightwards to a belay on a ledge.
6) 16m. Traverse a crack leftwards to a pronounced fin of rock. Move left under the fin and make a difficult move up a crack to easier ground. Move up right to a belay at the start of a ramp.
7) 13m. Climb the ramp and pull up to a ledge. Traverse back left until a final move up gains the top. © Rockfax

Keggers	15 Oct, 2021	Show βeta βeta: P6 crux felt uncomfortable climbing solo, way harder move than anything else on the route, retreated & climbed the right side of the fin instead, which is far easier and more in keeping with the original Diff grade.

liensiwel	16 Jul, 2021	Show βeta βeta: The prow pitch is harder without the flake (CLIMBED IT FROM THE RIGHT) and I'm 20 years older. Beaner climbed well and the weather was amazing.	βeta?
