Rockfax Description
Head up Inverted V for 5m then traverse right along the lowest break and make unlikely-looking pulls up the bulging arete. Once back in balance, finish up the exposed rounded rib. © Rockfax

βeta: Wasn't to be. Tried 4 times doing the moves after the traverse. Still not totally sure where you're meant to get up. Committed to the sequence after the mantel, very much on the arete, found nothing and took a big whip as the cam by feet in the shallow slot ripped. Expected it to be over after getting to and standing up over the buldge at the arete but maybe the holds were hiding that day. Still don't know how you're meant to do it lol. Wish gear after the traverse was better too! | βeta? | |

βeta: Dont know where people get 5a from! Soft for HVS and possibly top-end VS but either way,a very very good route. Almost worth 3 stars. | βeta? | |
