Rockfax Description
A mind-blowing single pitch taking in the full height of the wall right of the Cave Routes. Climb the overhanging wide crack and narrowing groove with difficultly to a ledge and lower-off. Climb up the wall above to a small niche and move right and up before trending left to a lower-off. Move up to the large overhang and take the right-hand line of bolts to some wildly-positioned moves before the lower-off. Lower off in two stages if you don't have an 80m rope. It is also worth 7c+ if started up Last Dog. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Pierrepoint is now almost universally started from Last Dog and was relabelled Dogpoint just to confuse people. Finish up the roof at the top for the full experience.

βeta: Seems a bit of a cop out (albeit a tempting one) to include this in the Extreme Rock Ticklist rather than the original version. It’s not like the original has fallen down - it’s just harder and less often in condition. You could apply the same logic to half of the routes in Scotland | βeta? | |

βeta: First pitch (with Last Dog start) is just about 7c. If only 7b+, then Last Dog is 7a. | βeta? | |

βeta: "Rope drag can be a problem" - if you were to climb it as two (or even three) pitches, what grade would the top pitch be in it's own right? | βeta? | |

βeta: Following from Paul's comment, it felt like more than a '+' grade difference between Last Dog and finishing beneath the roof. Has the top pitch been climbed this year? How stable is it? | βeta? | |

βeta: Even with the 'Last Dog', rather than the original start, it still felt like 7C to the first lower off. Way harder than the likes of 50 for 5 or Obsession. | βeta? | |
