UKC Logbook Description
Note that the correct grade is 8b+ not 8b as given in the South Wales Sport Climb Rockfax - this was a typo (the + got lost in production - apologies Sam)

Climb Helvetia direct via the crimps to the large side pull, from which a powerful rightwards traverse leads to two pinches and a blind slap for the jug at the end of the Delta Dagger crux. Finish up Delta Dagger.

The traverse is new climbing, not a reversal of HellDagger. The HellDagger holds become the Armada foot holds. The first ascensionist clipped the first four bolts on Helvetia, the bolt on the HellDagger traverse, then the bolt next to the Delta Dagger jug.
