Rockfax Description
Climb the bold arete to the break, continue through the roof to a groove then move out right to access the square arete. Finish up this and the wall above. The lower arete is the worthwhile alternative Paul's Arete Start, E1 5b to Campsite Crack. © Rockfax

βeta: Abseiled to investigate after reading about the hold breakage in the comment below (glad you survived and also surprised the cam held, is still a nasty ledge below!!). The rest of the hold to the right broke off (quite an alarmingly large chunk of rock!) when I touched it. However I don't think the grade is massively affected though as the climb is meant to go up the arete not the face to the right were the hold has broken and there are quite a few alternative holds. Feels super exciting with the suspect gear below, the E3 bit!

βeta: Pulled the sandy hold near the top off today - took a big whipper. The route will now be much harder and scary.

βeta: Not the best climb in the world but not bad for Agden
