Rockfax Description
The right-hand Slip is even more technical.
1) 5c, 35m. As for Leg Slip but move right at the top of the first groove below the roof to a ledge at the base of the beautiful upper groove. Climb this with sustained interest to a ledge. Two methods - the blank groove direct, or by moving onto the arete.
2) 4b, 12m. Easier climbing leads up the arete and rough ground to a tree belay. Abseil off. © Rockfax

βeta: We abseiled off the ab tat to save time. Takes you straight through the recent huge rockfall, super unstable still. Would not recommend!

βeta: Save a green cam and some microwires for the belay as what's left of the pegs are in very poor condition.

βeta: DNF Had to bail CRAG SWAG - Left 2 nuts and maillons in the roof, tough tags on one of the nuts if anyone finds it and reads this. Fine up the first groove, arranged gear and moved out across the traverse (stiff but easier than it looks). stood up on the ledge at the base of the second groove and realised that this was the crux. Even if I had of set off up the 2nd groove, my ropes were run awkwardly into the roof (causing drag) and I was light on gear by this point. After climbing back and forth across the traverse to attempt to regain some of my rack we eventually bailed. One to come back for, next time I would climb the 1st groove on one rope and then extend the gear under the roof even more. then once on the 2nd groove I would start on the second rope and protect it with smaller nuts. in theory of course... I'd still have to climb a thin 5c groove lol. Quality route but above my paygrade at the moment.
