At UKC we are all climbers and we understand the strong urge to be outdoors as the weather is finally improving.

Rockfax Description
At low water, the direct start to Suspense is technical and bold. Small wires and cams protect sparingly - remember to leave room in the slots for your fingers. Above the crux, a bold sprint leads to the crux of the regular route. © Rockfax

FAA. Alan Clarke 1958. FFA. Roger Greatrick early 1980s.

βeta: I think E5 6a is a better grade. Most of the climbing is on very good large holds. One short balancy section above iffy cam/wires leads to good holds again. Couldn't find a 6b move. 		βeta?

WilliamRupp 13 Mar Lead RP Seems like good gear in the break just before the crux. Awesome thumb sprang sequence, then just got to keep moving on good holds as the gear gets further away. Tested the depth of the water to see if the belayer can jump off the ledge if you take a fall, would be a funny experience.

salix 12 Sep, 2019 Lead O/S Spent a longtime figuring this out. Went right from the horizontal gear slots, and up to a good crescent feature. Then high heel to reach the first flat holds at the start of the runout. Would like to try the more direct rockover move from the gear.

Apharri 24 Jun, 2013 Lead Ground or rather 'pool' up. Very reachy, couldn't reach between the crux holds so ended up getting a thumb sprag with my right and crossing over with my left to the hold. 6b for sure. The move after is reachy too. 1 fall

Keendan 2 Feb, 2013 Lead O/S First legitimate E5 onsight! Gear was better than expected (two cams in the slot before the crux) crux was sketchy, with a small pop/deadpoint for the right handhold. Must be much harder for the short. The "bold sprint" was not too hard after the crux, and thoroughly enjoyable.
