UKC

13m. To the far left of the crag, this is route lies on the wall behind the cluster of small trees. At first sight it looks like a slab, but in reality proves to be a slight overhanging barrel. A completely different style from its steep neighbouring routes, this is technical and crimpy test piece with balance and good movement being key.

Upgraded to 7b+

βeta: Really quite a good route. Ebbs and flows with no proper rests, but some little pauses. Hard to judge grade as it suits my style. 7b+/7c. I suspect it might settle at 7b+ over time, unless holds fall off and it gets harder. Fantastically grippy rock, and only a couple of razor crimps. Even the quartz is nice!

βeta: I gave it a bit more of a clean before doing it. Good climbing and felt like soft 7c to me.
