UKC Logbook - 'Mousetrap'

128m, 3 pitches.

Rockfax Description
One of the most amazing routes at Gogarth - involved, adventurous but never desperate, and the geology is marvellous. Start at the base of the zawn at the left-hand side of a cave.
1) 5a, 40m. Climb to the top of the groove, place a high wire, move back down and step out onto the wall. Trend up and right against the grain of the rock to eventually arrive at a slab. Follow this across right to a stance.
2) 5a, 45m. Climb up onto the wall and traverse right to a diagonal line. Move up this and then round a fin of rock on the right to enter the next groove. Follow this up to where it turns into a long narrow slab. Continue to a thread belay at its top, below a steep tower.
3) 5a, 30m. An exciting finale! Move right into a niche, and gain a crack on the right, follow this up with difficulty to where it kinks left to a corner. Follow the corner up to where the angle eases. Climb easy ground up right and then back left to the top. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
In the definitive guide the first and second pitch's are both given 5b, which I would agree with. Take plenty of slings.

d8vehinton	17 Sep, 2021	Show βeta βeta: Rockfax topo is incorrect for the 2nd belay and top pitch. At the end of the long groove on the 2nd pitch move left onto the slab and take a very comfortable belay on a thread and other spikes. Top pitch starting with a large niche awaits up right.
