UKH Hills - 'Downhill Racer'

16m.

Rockfax Description
Climb the slab left of the shallow groove then step left and make a fierce, fingery mantelshelf to better holds and an uphill finger-traverse to ledges. One more scary move remains. The direct start is a very technical f7A+ problem. © Rockfax

samt	22 Apr	Show βeta βeta: Please Please Please STOP TOP ROPING this route to death. Its an uber classic that is a million times better done ground up and is paddable. [snipped original rant]. Its not about ego, its about trying to preserve these routes for future generations to enjoy. Yes it IS getting polished and much harder/dangerous as a result.	βeta?

widdlestickmcpoos	27 Mar, 2023	Show βeta βeta: Crux move low down is tricky. But how to finish? Direct or traverse left into the adjacent route? Needs much more practice before I'll go for it. Need to do it before the weather warms up.	βeta?

Ropeboy	27 Mar, 2004	Show βeta βeta: How do most people finish this route? Do you traverse into LJ's at the top or do you do the direct finish as described in the old Froggatt guide?	βeta?
