Rockfax Description
A top-notch lead for 1918 and a great route.
1) 5a, 25m. Boulder into the groove in the centre of the face then follow the crescent slab rightwards to access a narrow chimney-crack. Struggle up this to a ledge.
2) 4b, 10m. Continue up the surprisingly awkward crack. © Rockfax

βeta: The chimney crack was indeed awkward, bridge the outside by pressing feet and bum/back onto opposing walls. Dead easy beta. | ||

βeta: If you only put gear on one rope in the chimney, you can drop a loop of the other down to your second once they're comfortably wedged and haul their pack up to the belay. Would recommend, as the moves are fairly 'full-body'. | βeta? | |
