UKC Logbook - 'Scratch'

12m. Following the fan of branching cracks that start to the right of the main crack of Tear. Cross the main diagonal crack of SW Diagonal at a broken section and follow a larger vertical crack to the ledge of the main horizontal break. From the ledge step slightly right, climb straight up using the largest crack. Well protected after the first 4m.

Cobra_Head	10 Aug	Show βeta βeta: You're quite high up, on not so great holds, before there is any gear. Also, the landing wouldn't be very nice. we top roped it for this reason, and Im glad we did.

Emile.swain	17 Jun	Show βeta βeta: First VS trad lead single pitch; Perfect for practicing for those long multi pitch HS alt leads yet to do. Quite hard to find decent gear on first section, and eventually found decent foot position so as to faff place if something bomber in the horizontal crack. Then did more of the same. Good practice for finding stable positions to place gear and move up. Honestly technically not hard climb. Excellent climb. Also, did this on top rope 26+ years ago on top rope in walking boots! With outward bound. Lols.	βeta?
