An excellent expedition up the large subsidiary buttress next to the vegetated gully on the left of the Main Face itself. USER COMMENTS
Very good and very varied. The start of the second pitch and the crux wall below the tree belay can both seem a little fierce...
I thought it was rather discontinuous. A bit of a scramble with a few VDiff boulder problems along the way. Nice situation though.
Yet another Dewerstone Classic that should be on every new leaders tick list. Some nice and steep problems along a rambling arete that pops you up onto a fantastic view point.
Great route with some tricky moves, but why would anyone climb it in four pitches? We linked the first and second together and likewise the third and fourth. Not much drag and it meant less faffing and more routes at this excellent crag!
One of the very best climbs I have ever done.
A good outing especially for a novice leader, I did it in 3 pitches by linking the first two. A fair bit of exposure for a Vdiff, but good gear, and you don’t have to use the tree (that’s struggling anyway) on the last pitch as there is gear up the left of it.
Really surprised by the votes on this one. A few nice moves, but mostly quite ordinary and with very little sense of even being on an arete. Needle Arete at the same grade is in a different league! |
