UKH Hills - 'Hen Cloud Eliminate'

18m.

Rockfax Description
18m. The steep cracks give a steep and superb pitch, it is solid Hen Cloud HVS value too! Layaways and jugs lead to a tricky entry into a narrow groove/chimney which requires a bit of udgery before things ease. Well protected throughout. © Rockfax

FA. Joe Brown, late 1950s.

Neil Ireson	7 Aug, 2006	Show βeta βeta: Completely agree with GrahamD, this is a another quintessential gritstone HVS 5b. Add Delstree and Bachelor's Left-hand to give your limestone E3 climbing friends a glorious day's introduction to the joys of gritstone.	βeta?

GrahamD	6 Sep, 2004	Show βeta βeta: Probably closer to 'traditional peak HVS 5b' than E1 in character. Slight shame about being able to step off the block on the left to start.	βeta?

MeMeMe	6 Sep, 2004	Show βeta βeta: Steep but steady. Noticed no nipple erosion or udgery. Fell off at start in comedy "lets pull this wire really hard to make sure it's in well" moment (it wasn't in well at all).	βeta?

Nick Smith - Climbers	14 Jul, 2003	Show βeta βeta: Superb climbing with some tricky moves. As I value my nipples ;) I found a double-hand jam worked nicely as an alternative at the top of the route!	βeta?
