UKC Logbook - 'The Smile'

35m.

Rockfax Description
A fabulous route that up the sweeping, wide break across the face of the fin and is topped off by a well-positioned thin crack. Start at a vague line of holds that lead up to the break. Climb up the wall to the left-slanting break. Follow the break all the way to a broken niche and climb the wall above via a thin crack. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
A classic North Coast E1 which gives strenuous climbing along the obvious diagonal line. Take care with rope work and the increasingly loose block on the top wall.

Tall Oak	26 Jul, 2021	Show βeta βeta: Very cool route in a very cool amphitheatre of amazin geology. Eyeing up the splaying of legs / chimney climbing near the shore line (one day). I think getting off the deck was probably the hardest part. Very enjoyable climbing.	βeta?

chris j	15 Jun, 2006	Show βeta βeta: Worryingly loose rocking block at the top of the niche but it must be held in pretty well as it didn't come out when I swung on it, jammed behind it and then stood on it...	βeta?
