UKC Logbook - 'Running on Empty'

Rockfax Description
Superb hard climbing. Start below the bottom of a grassy ramp. Climb the slim corner/groove that rises above the base of the ramp to the break and a spike (5a). Make a powerful sequence right from the spike then tackle some thin moves up the wall to the base of a groove. Climb the steep groove to the top. © Rockfax

climberchristy	30 Jul	Show βeta βeta: This was filthy a few weeks ago but some cleaning then and more today means it's in half-decent nick now. Time to get on it. NB: the spike below overhang (with the tied off cord) moves a bit and has a bit of a fracture line. So, back it up well before commiting into the crux above (bomber runners in the break below it and a metre to the left). I also had a tiny microcam above it (smallest green Dragonfly) which seemed surprisingly good. I'd advise belayer to stand well to one side and both climbers to wear helmets in case a fall onto that spike causes it to fail.	βeta?
