Rockfax Description
The magnificent scalloped arete is unprotected where it matters although gear can be fiddled in the half-height bore holes. Not for the faint of heart, because from the crux you will hit the ground, gear or not! © Rockfax

βeta: Metolius number 5 (black) ultralight master cam is perfect in the shot holes; Camelot Z4 0.75 (green) is not as good, surprisingly. Less middle class but inferior options (blue tricam, bent-back nut) are available. | βeta? | |

βeta: I don't think you would hit the ground if you placed a runner in the very bottom pocket at starting height to take mose of the slack in if you were to come off. Fantastic line though!!! | βeta? | |
