The elegant groove breaking out right from halfway up The Directissima succumbs to sustained and powerful bridging in a wild position. © Rockfax

βeta: The number of bolts on this makes it confusing, but very easy to work. The resin bolts are the originals which are sometimes not optimally positioned. The expansions are the rebolt job. At the top, the resins show the way. From the juggy pockets, head up and slightly right to the juggy break, then traverse the break left to the belay. | βeta? | |

βeta: The worst route I've been on at Kilnsey. Dirty - the bolts are two feet off route - loose rock and glued on holds. It should be re-bolted properely. | βeta? | |
