UKH Hills - 'Dominatrix'

Rockfax Description
The super-steep line on the left side of the wall is one of the UK's great 7c pitches. The pull leftwards into the steep crack above the first overhang is difficult but the final lurch over the roof to gain the lower-off is the crux. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Dominatrix is now fully bolted. No trad gear needed since an extra bolt has been added at the start.

FA. Martin Berzins, Chris Sowden 1985.

tintinandpip	2 Jul, 2023	Show βeta βeta: Originally did this in 1988, ordered up it by Mikey J ( I was given no choice in the matter) at the time there was a random selection of bolts, pegs and rotting wires, I distinctly remember being terrified as I passed the rotting wires on the way to the roof. Done it many times since, contender for one of the UKs best sport routes.	βeta?

Daniel Grout	4 Jun, 2020	Show βeta βeta: First session was hell, 4th day on and felt horrific, couldn't even make it to the top bucket. Good links second session. First rp third session, sent pretty comfortably bar the terrible cut loose and legs flailing around the bottom roof. Spectacular route, really is on you from that first roof, super goey. Needed a good bit of refining	βeta?

Aaron.Clifford	27 Aug, 2019	Show βeta βeta: Definitely a loose block between the first and second bolts, easily avoided but it's so chalked up it's very inviting. Worth someone going up with a crowbar and taking it off before someone gets it in the head.	βeta?

RD	5 May, 2007	Show βeta βeta: A bolt at the bottom and one on the lip of the first roof. There's a few loose holds before you get to the first bolt. Maybe you also didn't notice the 'good' holds between first and second bolts are actualy made of wobbly blocks, all of which could fall out. Yes - it's mostly easy climbing but if the bolt above the first roof failed (and the rock where it's placed is cracked) then somebody would probably die. Do you need glasses?	βeta?

RD	22 Apr, 2007	Show βeta βeta: It would be a better route if it was properely bolted as there is still many loose blocks that will fall off at some point near the start. Yesterday we pulled off enough rock to fill a bucket! Compared with all the other routes on North Buttress the run out between the bolts are excessive. It's another case of 'traditional Yorshire values' overriding common sence since if certain bolts did fail serious injury is guaranteed.	βeta?
