25m. Extension to Spartacus with long moves on good holds up the leaning wall above the Spartacus chain in one long. It's possible to get back to the Spartacus lower off from the top on a 70m rope. F7b if climbed as a single pitch, and can also be reached from Gladiator or Harikiri. USER COMMENTS
This route has a very loose large tufa,and was the scene of a spectacular catch when i pulled off a large football sized hold.I was unable to remove the Tufa (too busy at the crag),contact Steve at Glaros bar to see if this route is now ok.
I think you will find that the aforementioned tufa has now been removed, since it came crashing down to the ground last week after a French climber pulled the whole thing off whilst on the lead. Fortunately there were only five people at the crag and nobody was sat underneath, (unlike the following day when a similar incident could well have wiped out half a dozen or more people!)
maximuss is easy, max 7a.and is a very good rest around a belay.
Not sure about 7a for the top bit, but agree with 7b+ for the whole thing. |
