Rockfax Description
Rivelin's second classic E4 arete - technically harder than The Brush Off but with much better gear. Climb the short crack to the break, arrange a few wires and cams whilst getting ever more pumped, then sprint for the top via some tough laybacking. © Rockfax

βeta: didnt feel like much of a rest below the crux, especially when the best bit of gear fills the best handhold. usually i hope to feel less pumped after the rest not more pumped! | βeta? | |

βeta: Must be easy for E4, possibly E3? Well protected and you can get your breath back beneath the crux. | βeta? | |
