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.

βeta: The line in the guidebook is wrong (too far to the left) good route, though. polish is not that bad. Felt tough for the grade but think 6a is fair. | 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? | |

βeta: Ian - i think the line in the rockfax might be a bit out from memory? NDACWYD is the line right in the gully/lowest point, and the first bolt is pretty high.. | 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? | |
