Rockfax Description
The unprotected blunt rib was an astounding ascent before sticky rubber and remains a bold and infrequently climbed pitch. Sadly top-roping is polishing the crucial holds just below the top. © Rockfax

βeta: Some people think this is E7!! Soft at E6 but does seem to be slightly polished. I thought the direct finish went at E6/7 6b/c | βeta? | |

βeta: Becoming harder over the years as clumsy footwork has abraded the soft hold out right below the finish. | βeta? | |

βeta: I don't get why people think there's no gear. I placed a small Peanut just below half height which held when I slipped on the last move. Climbed it on second try straight after. No cheating pads. | βeta? | |
