Rockfax Description
The arete is delicate and quite low in the grade. A semi-crucial Friend in the rather shallow slot gets in the way a little, though another out right (and off route?) doesn't! © Rockfax

βeta: Any gear in the slot would be way off route. I struggled to get a "good" friend in the pocket (and I tried lots of different sizes!), not sure if what I got would have held a fall. Got reasonably good small wires in the crack. Nice route, but bold. | βeta? | |

βeta: Quite easy if you know how but still fairly cool. Height makes no difference whatsoever in my opinion. Couple o microwires lower down is fun and friend in the pocket if you need. | βeta? | |

βeta: the friend placement seems solid so dont miss it and will probably be the only gear as the next move or two are the crux and the only hard(ish) section | ||

βeta: the friend placement in the pocket makes the route much more interesting and bold, great rush stepping up without the pocket | βeta? | |

βeta: A wire before the pocket and a friend in the right-hand slot (which can be easily reached from the left hand placement) reduce this to a less bold HVS. | βeta? | |
