Rockfax Description
A relatively easy lower wall and flake lead to a hands-off rest. The next move is the crux and is very reach dependent. © Rockfax

βeta: I actually feel I am the only one qualified to comment on this. Being 62 feet tall it felt about 1a on the redpoint. However, when I onsighted it the next day it became much harder at about 1a+ishgiveortakeagradeortwo! A sliding scale of difficulty is a great idea taking into consideration such factors as height, weight, age, amount of wine consumed (in my case lots), distance travelled to the crag(!!) and other such nonense. | βeta? |

βeta: I’m of the opinion that a climb should be graded for the easiest method and whether that requires a specific somatotype then so be it. Yes, it's unfortunate that the short find it harder in this instance, but them’s the breaks...... | βeta? |

βeta: I'm 5'11" on a tall day ;o) and this felt benchmark 7a+ for me. Like Richard said there is an intermediate crimp, which allows you to adjust on the undercut, and plenty of good footholds. I used a small foothold above the obvious large one and I wasn't at full stretch - no way an english 6c move. | βeta? |
