Rockfax Description
A fierce finger-crack leads to a band of overhangs. Pull into the steep leaning groove and finish up this. London Pride, E5 6b, 5c, climbed to the roof then took a hanging belay on the arete before finishing up the slanting groove of Perplexity. © Rockfax
FA. (London Pride) Mick Fowler 1976. FA (as described) Mike Lea 2001. The top wall was climbed as Which Way Up Robitho (FA. Paul Evans 1988)..

βeta: I have read some comments elsewhere on the net casting doubt on Paul's ascent of Which Way up Mr Rothko. (Named after Mark Rothkos paintings being mistakenly hung upside down at an exhibition)My recollection of his ascent (I held his ropes) is better than his when I chatted to him about it a couple of weeks ago. Paul abbed in to where London Pride goes right and led his direct variant from there (which I thought was an odd thing to do at the time). I didnt follow. Paul is/was an awesome boulderer and it sounds like he originally undergraded it at 6B. | βeta? | |

βeta: Now 6b since the appearance of a good left handhold below and left of the first peg in the upper groove. This resulted from a flake (and climber!) becoming detached from the rock. The pegs are still OK for the short falls likely, but are showing signs of age. An excellent route - get it done soon - the pegs may be v hard to replace. | βeta? | |
