Rockfax Description
Climb the right-hand edge of the slab then reach the hanging groove by a traverse from the right. Enter it by a puzzling layback sequence then bung in some gear and sprint to safety. The hardest of the old Stanage Extremes. © Rockfax

FA. Pat Fearneough 1961-63.

βeta: Just about getting in the red zone when decent gear and holds finally come. I took a couple of ‘ledge sweepers’ before I worked the crux out, after crux I reckon I’d have been picking bilberries out my arse.

βeta: Agreed with the long reach to enter the groove and you can't cheat your way around it either! Right hand jam as far left as possible before the reach helps! My partner complained about the jams being tough to establish, but I thought they were pretty solid. Perhaps is down to hand size, as it usually is.

βeta: The crux starting move from the break is manicly reachy. Im 5'9" and could only reach the lower part of the layback hold (which i subsequently let go of when i fell off).
