UKC Logbook - 'Brown's Eliminate'

16m.

Rockfax Description
A bold and intimidating route which is often soloed, although there is gear just below half-height. From a couple of moves up the corner trend left to a ledge (cams down and left), step back right, then climb the wall on small flakes until things ease. © Rockfax

FA. Joe Brown 1948.

Quintin	28 Mar, 2021	Show βeta βeta: I also thought the hardest move was traversing from the corner to the ledge . Trust your feet moment . The move off the ledge is not too hard if you 6ft tall and above . Quality slab

Pythonist	1 Apr, 2006	Show βeta βeta: Low grade E2, but a wonderful experience of trusting smaller ledges for feet. 5b to get off the ledge, 5a to get on to it and bold 5a higher. Just keep telling yourself it's a slab... Could've sworn I've seen photos with gear in on the right-hand side of the ledge, but that seems to be impossible - the right-hand gear is in the corner (a long way away, or at least, that's how it feels).	βeta?

match	20 Feb, 2006	Show βeta βeta: The direct start up the arete is a lovely piece of climbing, whether you carry on at E3 or no. If 'bouldering', the reversal of the traverse is fun :) Gear good, seen more folks lead it than solo.

Andrew Barker	9 Feb, 2006	Show βeta βeta: Spectacular! One of my favourite grit routes. Chock full of awesome moves and really makes you feel like a legend running it out above the gear.	βeta?

Si dH	29 Jan, 2006	Show βeta βeta: I thought 5a/5b to start the traverse, hard 5b off the ledge then very scary 5a above that - bit heart in mouth! Lovely though. Definitely hardest of the 3 E2s I've done.	βeta?

thebigfriendlymoose	1 Nov, 2005	Show βeta βeta: I thought the trickiest bit was gaining the ledge from the corner. The moves from the ledge were an absolute joy - balancey and technical with gear that i suspect would be just good enough (nut and cams).

Andy Hobson	22 Feb, 2005	Show βeta βeta: Excellent route, I thought the crux was leaving the ledge but there are a few hard pulls after. It's all over fairly quickly though - unless you are foolish enough to step out onto the good foothold on the arete (like I did) where you will then realise that you have to go back and make one more tricky move to safety, well above the gear!	βeta?

MNA123	21 Jan, 2005	Show βeta βeta: Yeah i'll admit it i top roped it,but it was a piss wet through day and i still managed the direct start up the arete (with lots of slipping and sliding. Definately going back for the lead.	βeta?

Chris the Tall	19 May, 2003	Show βeta βeta: It worth leading it, the gear at half-height is sufficient for the crux, and you can get more just before the top (where the rock can be friable)	βeta?

Paul Boardman	17 Sep, 2002	Show βeta βeta: Had the chance to second Max up this one. I agree, a very good climb. Nothing too scary (so long as you're comfortable with 5b moves way above your gear). But then it's easy to say that when you're seconding ;-) Nice one Max!	βeta?
