20m. A fine climb up the left-hand side of the face. Pull through the roof using a flake-crack then easier climbing leads to a blank section. The wall above is climbed by a hard semi-mantelshelf (large Friends in the deep horizontal) then move slightly left to finish through the final bulges with a flourish. USER COMMENTS
wonderful sustained and varied route.should be 3 stars!
After the overhang it is quite easy maybe vs apart from the weird mantleshelf which is quite easy when you work out what to do.
The mantleshelf sorta move is awesome the way I did it, and definatly the 5c move on the climb
A very classy route, now I've done it. Some steep moves low down, a safe technical crux higher up, followed by interesting climbing thereafter.
Fantastic route, better than many a 3 star 'classic' at Stanage. |
