UKC

A harder variant to Steve's Stamina Circuit for when you can lap round it.
Start on the arete and follow SSC to the jug above the Eastern cave. Start the powerful sequences to gain the curved incut. Find 2 undercuts in the roof and cross through to the jug. Drop on to the round pockets and move left around the piler on the twin pockets to gain a good jug. Match. LH to crimp and drop RH into jug and LH onto inner crimp of the smilely face. Keep feet on the back pillar.
Cross RH under to undercut, LH to slopper on hanging arete and again to flat hold.
RH under to the small pocket. Cross LH to sloppy pocket and RH to good input layaway.
Cross under to ok hold and RH to pocket round arete, then to small pocket.
LH to layaway on arete and right into 2 finger pocket. Drop onto good jug and cross RH to next jug. Use the slot to get pocket in back of the overlap and RH to undercut. Then use crimp on the lip to span to slot/pocket and RH down on to small crimp.
LH to diamond shaped hold and RH to poor crimp back under the roof. LH to good hold and RH to big hold in roof. LH to incut pocket RH to incut layaway, drop under roof to flat hold and match.
Span left to rest on the tufa on arete.
Return to holds on lip of roof, RH to slopper on bottom of hanging arete and again to layaway edge. Bring LH to pocket at top of this and get the curving hold above the eyes.
LH onto the mouth and RH to jug on the inside. Use the crimp to launch for a layaway crimp on 2nd leg.
Use layaway above the jug to get undercut right of the crack.
LH to pocket in side wall and RH to crimp.
Use the big undercut in roof crack to get a crimp just above the undercut and drop onto big hold on the left side of the cave.
Drop down to two holds below the overlap.
Span left to undercut and crimp and thus back to the start.
