Rockfax Description
The thin crack splitting the wall has a desperate start form the left or right and even more desperate moves to reach the wider upper section. The starts are good and around f6B. © Rockfax

βeta: Pretty tricky I thought for an E2. Quite pumpy to place gear and certainly harder than most other E2 cracks to onsight. Worth E3 for the onsight in my eyes. | βeta? | |

βeta: Wish I had thought of that. I cruised the boulder problem & got completely boxed placing wires & then fell off. | βeta? | |

βeta: Classy little number, hard to resist. The boulder problem can be done in many ways, with starting on the right obviously being easier. A cunning plan of placing lots of wires, jumping off (without mat or weighting rope, of course), de-pumping then blasting up it, helps - not totally pure but fits the style of climb. | βeta? | |

βeta: E3 6b to onsight. Totally safe but an E2 leader will fail. Started from the ground, reaching the horizontal flake is a hard boulder problem and definitely worth 6b. The moves up from the good flake are slightly easier, but tricky to onsight. | βeta? | |
