Rockfax Description
Fine climbing with good rests and great positions. Climb the right wall of the open corner on edges to the arete. Step around right to a small ledge and climb the thin fingery cracks with difficulty to a final long reach. © Rockfax

βeta: no, not a good first E2 - the lower section is bold and serious with no gear until you gain the arete. wires (when you gain the smaller, lower crack below and left of main crack) can be solid but are not straightforward to place. wires in the main crack are bombproof (not to mention a very solid looking peg). a very enjoyable route with some lovely moves. | ||

βeta: An excellent welcome into the world of E2. Position is amazing. Gear is good once you reach the arete. Nice moves right lead to the ledge and the crux where a good wire protects a hard 5C move. | ||

βeta: Quality, safe route. The bottom section feels a tad bold (good gear but spaced) but the climbing is straightforward. The crux top crack is full of textbook wire placements and the peg is solid too. | βeta? | |

βeta: Quite steady to the top crack which requires a stiff couple of pulls on just adequate gear. | βeta? | |

βeta: Not one for hot conditions?? The friction ain't important, brushing the piles of dust off the holds is! The moves are more slate than grit,rockovers between tiny edges, get your stiffest boots on. | βeta? | |

βeta: Excellent wire when you first reach the arete. Poor Friend in horizontal slot makes the moves right feel scary, but peg slots and ledges are good. Once here excellent wire protection and the occasional peg exist for the crux. | βeta? | |

βeta: Only one 5c move on the whole route, but it's a tricky one. Great moves, pretty good gear. Fab :-) | βeta? | |
