UKH Hills - 'Pisa Super Direct'

20m.

Rockfax Description
Super direct and a super route. Start direct up thin cracks in the slab just right of the arete to join the parent route which is then followed to the Leaning Tower. Then climb the bulging crack and well-positioned crest of the buttress. One of the very best routes on Bleaklow. . © Rockfax

FA. John Gosling late 1960s.

Gordon Stainforth	7 Mar, 2022	Show βeta βeta: I remember this as an outstanding long and varied gritstone pitch of the very highest quality. But frankly, very soft for its grade. Not that that matters, because it's just so good and in a superbly exposed position.	βeta?

Paul Evans	3 Jul, 2006	Show βeta βeta: We did the "thin cracks in the slab start" which others have described above. More logical start but not 5a. Rest is pretty steady. Beautiful route.	βeta?

Jon Greengrass	10 Jun, 2004	Show βeta βeta: AMAZING!! **** a technical boulder problem leads to a perfect hand crack a couple of stiff pulls and some easier ground at the top. The best route i've done on Grit!	βeta?

sutty	7 Feb, 2002	Show βeta βeta: I think the dates of the FA are out by about 5/6 years, remember doing all routes on that buttress long before the late 60s, all the pisa buttress routes are worth doing.	βeta?
