UKC Logbook - 'Slab Recess Direct'

14m.

Rockfax Description
The shallow corner has an unhelpful set of sloping, slippery holds and great gear to get going. The upper half is a doddle. Oddly there are easier 5b moves out there - don't you love the grading system! © Rockfax

Mutl3y	7 Jul, 2005	Show βeta βeta: Went up this one yesterday evening after a fine afternoon of climbering. The start is a bit tricky, but very worthwhile. I find these problems a bit peculiar because you top out half way up but still have to do the rest of it.	βeta?

SGD	20 May, 2005	Show βeta βeta: I liked this one a lot. I found the start bloody hard, but thats the point - isn't it? After the hard start it's a nice relaxed climb but...at the top should you step right around the upper block or continue up on the arete?? Also while I was doing this climb a guy soloed 'downhill racer' - very inspiring, I remember looking across and thinking 'what the hell is he standing on?'	βeta?

Paul Boardman	17 Sep, 2002	Show βeta βeta: A bit slippy for a solo... the first few moves being the worst though. I didn't think that this route justified any stars. Yeah, it's quite nice but nothing special. Especially with all the polish.	βeta?
