Rockfax Description
The bold, blunt arete feels big for its size and is suffering from polish. The grade given is for a lead since there is (spaced) gear. It is V5 to the break,..... except for locals! © Rockfax

βeta: E3 6b *** (OS Lead, no mats). A very fine route which is well worth leading. The start is reasonably tricky (I must confess I watched someone doing it at a time when I hadn't considered doing the route) but easy to work on. Above it's much easier, gear is limited but bomber, and protects a really good series of elegant rock-overs. Get to it. | βeta? | |

βeta: Nailed the start today. Saw a guy working it in the wrong way (starting to the left and reaching onto Cardiac Arete to gain a pocket). Showed him the method Mark Hounslea had showed me and this time instead of foolishly going straight for the break popped up for a two finger pocket. After a couple of trys we had both latched it and made the break. A very special day for him as he had first got on the problem in 2003. After working it for the whole summer and for 3 years he had finally done it within 10 mins of being showed the proper route. Was also the first 6b move that Ive pulled off so was very proud. Nice when things come together. | βeta? | |

βeta: Agreed. Ive been working it for a little while and the start is rock 'ard. I blame my Scarpa Visions for not being able to utilise the left hand side foothold as you reach for second crescent. | βeta? | |

βeta: The slot mentioned by Andy was exploded by a leader falling onto a shallowly placed friend. An object lesson - if you're going to lead at Pex make sure all gear is well in. On this route better to push on to a Rock 5 in the V feature and a f0 on arete before bomber f1 in top slot. | βeta? | |

βeta: The famous slot for your left hand which has been missed on many an attempt has been 'improved' by a well known local. | βeta? | |

βeta: Famous and rightly so. The starting footholds are poilished, but there is and easier version without the obvious (and painful) pocket. V4 to the break. | βeta? | |
