UKH Hills - 'Never Drive a Car When You're Dead'

17m.

Rockfax Description
A delightful route; friendly, sustained but never desperate. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Now the ground under these routes has stabilises a bit. It is now possible to gain the lower base of this route. 3 extra bolts have now been placed making this route climbable again. The lower part is still very dirty and will need cleaning to restore this climb back to a Battleship classic.

robandian	2 Jun, 2007	Show βeta βeta: did the route yesterday and thought it was sustained and excellent - a little run out at the top. The picture in the guide book is printed with this route and the next 4 displaced to the left -why is the obvious central groove line not stapled - surely a bolted area is a bolted area !	βeta?

Richard Horn	15 Nov, 2006	Show βeta βeta: Given that this route is one of only a couple of warm up routes at Battleship it is bound to get a bit polished, but I agree with Wilbur it is not that bad and it is still F6a.	βeta?
