85m. (The Pizza Thief) The route follows a series of cracks and corners which start on the steep slab at the cliff’s base. Originally and aid climb done in the depths of winter, it is still used for aid training on occasions, but hammer-less only please. USER COMMENTS
Great route, varied and interesting.
Further research reveals that the P4 in the guide is not the original way - hence why we found it so hard. It climbs the crack to the right of the belay to a ledge under the big roof then the crack to the right of this.
Did it a few days ago following the amended instructions in the update. Pitch 3 was the hardest (although I don't feel qualified to say whether it was hard for 6). Pitch 4 felt like a gritstone 5a. Great route
P3 seems like 6, but perhaps harder for short climbers. P4 is more like 5. The revised description for P4 says to belay below an overhang -- wrong; climb a corner to an overhang, then step right to a huge ledge.
Nice but short. Well protected and ideal if the weather is unstable.
Pitch grades: (1) VS 4c, (2) VS 4c, (3) E1 5c, (4) HVS 5a, (5) HS 4b (overall E1 5c maybe). Or in Norwegian (guessing), 5, 5, 6, 5+, 4+. Three stars. |
