Rockfax Description
The awesome line out of the cave to the right of The Futurist 2002. Steep ground accesses the lip, where thin cruxy moves may allow the lower-off to be gained. © Rockfax

βeta: PS, the Futurist has a hanger missing at the mo' - either take one with you or use a stick to gain the higher one( they are close together at that point). | βeta? | |

βeta: Hi Adam, I haven't heard of anyone seriously trying or repeating this yet. Have you tried it? When Rob did it I was working it, but damaged a knee ligament on a crucial knee bar under the roof and have been woried about getting back on it. It's probably 7c+ through the roof to the lip and then a very hard boulder problem around the roof with feet swinging off to France! Not really suitable for me, being 6'4''. Good luck if you get on it! That area does seep in winter though, so be quick before the monsoon arrives. | βeta? | |
