Rockfax Description
Spectacular climbing that features an urgent crux move. Start at large flakes on a ledge to the left of Easy Terrace (this is the belay at the top of pitch 1 of Nimrod).
1) 6a, 32m. Climb the flared groove to a short rib where Genocide moves left up the thin crack. Make a series of difficult moves up right to a good hidden hold. Pull up to the base of a slabby wide corner. Climb the slab rightwards to below steeper ground (gear here), and make a tricky traverse left to a belay on Giant's Crawl.
2) 5b, 18m. Move up the corner and traverse left to a slabby corner/groove. Follow this rightwards to a grass ledge and belay.
3) 5b, 13m. Take the wide crack - hard to start - from the left-hand side of the ledge to top. Can be dirty. © Rockfax

βeta: Green walnut in RHS of crack protects crux really well. Bring extra small cams for top - I was missing the sizes I needed. | ||
