UKC

East of the main tor summit and just uphill from the Dragonfly boulder, is a 3m face split halfway by a wide break and with an undercut bottom right corner.

Creamface goes up the centre of the face aiming for a shallow side pull high on the right. Probably at least f6B. The left arete is easier.

A Webber 30/Jun/2019.

βeta: Beta used for FA. A deep hand jam with the right hand into the break on the far right of the face, right foot on a small slopey foothold (but reasonably good) under that jam. Left foot on a very small bad foot hold and left hand in the break above that. From this position slap up left and high to a crimp rail. Get the left foot higher on a good hold and slap up right to the side pull. Sort feet and top out using a jug that is just a little reach over the top (and may have plants in - remove them or use them!). There are some bad crimps on the face above the break that could be used to vary the starting position but I found the above to work best. Grade would be very dependent on reach with this method.

βeta: Really good problem can be done couple of different ways which may adjust grade but definitely worth searching out
