Rockfax Description
Strange name, good route! The right side of the Elegy slab is at the limit of friction and the grade varies from E4 to E6 depending on how high you put the side runner in The Bulger.
A wire in Elegy can also be used to reduce the swing potential. © Rockfax

βeta: Really fun climb, cleaned on a shunt and then lead. Smears felt scrittly and flaky before brushing. It’s nice and clean now though. | βeta? | |

βeta: Sublimely sustained moves up the slab though with no real crux. It might be worth getting a mate to brush this on ab as doing it on the lead is a nightmare. One of the best slabs at the roaches? | βeta? | |
