A real cracker of a face climb. Use the diagonal crack to reach the first overlap, move straight through and pass a second overlap on its right to gain a small niche. The final wall gives a fitting finale. USER COMMENTS
I found it harder than "Poetry in Motion".... And wasn't it formerly an E2 5b - I cacked myself when I lead it!
Pretty hard route, and protection difficult to place. Excellent though, requires steady head and good balance.
Brilliant route .... tricky to place pro, but the climbing is pretty steady for 5c.
Excellent route. The gear is fiddly but after the first few moves I got good gear all the way up.
Better protected than it looks and more rests than one expects. Only E2 5B.
I agree with John, biggish holds and enough gear, E2 5b
john & scott: are you sure you were on the right line?! There were a couple of good holds but i thought it was solid e3 5c most of the way, with some very fiddly gear that i wouldn't want to test. |
