UKC

2 pitches. A traverse of the prow, starting from 'The Offence' and finishing at 'Thunderhips'. Bring lots of extendable quickdraws, most the gear is situated in the cracks between the pillars.

P1, 5b: Start at the grassy niche to the side of 'The Offence' and traverse leftwards and diagonally upwards using good holds. When the line of 'GBH' is reached, go straight up (hard move) for ~2 meters, and then continue traversing diagonally upwards. Once the vegetation is met (few meters below the top of 'Good Morning Judge'), traverse a level line through the vegetation (might be loose rock) till a large flat pedestal is reached and belay here.
P2, 5c: Keep traversing a level line while passing through a blank section crossing 'The Embankment' and 'Marconi'. Fall into the the line of 'Fireball' and ascend this for a few meters until you reach an obvious flat hold on the left side of the groove. Use this to fall into the offwidth crack of 'Thunderhips' and climb to the top.
