UKC Logbook - 'Rib and Slab Climb'

Rockfax Description
A tremendous route that is both high in the grade and very sustained. Belay at the base of an intrusion of lighter rock 12m down from the large block in the gully bed.
1) 4b, 27m. Climb up the intrusion for 7m, then move left to a grassy ledge under a corner-line. Climb the rib and corner to a move left onto a small ledge. Move up a slab/rib (with difficulty) to a ledge and belay on the right.
2) 4b, 20m. Make some hard moves up the groove and continue along a rib to a belay at its end.
3) 4b, 18m. Head out right to gain the slab and rib just below a horizontal break. Follow the amazingly positioned slabby rib to a stance at block.
4) 4a, 15m. Move up a crack rightwards for 3m, then climb the slab above on small holds to the top. © Rockfax

jevs100	6 May	Show βeta βeta: As someone else mentions, there is a loose hold on P2 at the top of the crux move, that you really want to be able to grab - there other things to grab around it, but be aware.

JJ Spooner	21 Jun, 2020	Show βeta βeta: Crucial Hold on Crux is very loose, be careful! You can avoid this by climbing up and to the left at a similar grade.
