UKH Hills - 'Adam Rib'

The classic line of the crag which takes the right arete of Eden buttress. Start at the foot of the right-hand rib, just left of Eden Gully. Sustained and sometimes exposed climbing which can feel like S or VS depending on the line that you take. If you want an easier ride, stick to the arete and don't be drawn moth-like to the adjacent 4c grooves.

J M Thomson and party 1911.

steveshaking	31 May, 2021	Show βeta βeta: We had a faller caused by lose rock. Generally the rock is sound. But I guess a high route that doesn't get much traffic is always going to accumulate lose rock. Worth being cautious on.	βeta?

Butty	25 Apr, 2021	Show βeta βeta: Fantastic mountain route, good rock and gear. Scramble up the grassy gully to the left then cut back higher up via a rightward ramp to the first rib. Top pitch fantastic but all 3 pitches are good. I used the approach details from Garry smith scrambles book for Bear Buttress, so simple,nice enough walk in...1hr	βeta?
