UKC Logbook - 'The Rift'

Rockfax Description
This perfect chimney will delight some but will terrify those unused to vertical thrutching. Start from the base of Strike.
1) 12m. Scramble up and right to the base of the fissure. You can link straight into the next pitch but your belayer won't be able to watch you suffer.
2) 4c, 32m. Climb the flake mainly utilising the left side until you are forced inside. Make every chimney climbing move you know to wriggle up the tight cleft, emerging every now and again to ledges off the left edge of the cleft. Eventually you reach the top of the massive flake where it is best to abseil off.
3) 4c, 13m. If you wish to continue, the wide corner-cracks above and to the left are the upwards escape from here. © Rockfax
