UKH Hills - 'Bosigran Ridge a.k.a Commando Ridge'

161m, 8 pitches.

Rockfax Description
The best VDiff in the West Country. Although protection is always at hand, the exposure, sections of down climbing and the traversing nature of the route call for all party members to be competent at the grade. Slings are very useful. Start at a belay ledge just before the arete.
1) 25m. Move left around the arete to a ramp above the zawn. Move along to a corner at the end of the ramp. Climb the wall on its left on good holds, left and then back slightly right, to beneath a vertical crack. Climb the crack on superb holds to a belay on the ridge.
2) 10m. Move along the easy-angled ridge to a belay at the base of an open corner that forms a chimney at its top.
3) 18m. Climb the corner and chimney to a belay under a neb.
4) 16m. Move up left to beneath the neb, and then make a traverse left through a large gap and climb down to a belay at a col. © Rockfax

RichPacker	1 Jun	Show βeta βeta: The approach has some tricky sections, some may want to rope up. Worth getting the tide right to do the first pitch.

RichardN	21 Apr, 2022	Show βeta βeta: Short pitches for very first section. Two pushes moving together (as a 4) once established on ridge proper. 3h30 from flaking ropes to coiling them.

NigelHurst	17 Sep, 2019	Show βeta βeta: Only 2 tricky bits really, start of P1, but rest of P1 just a jugfest, lovely. Move around corner for final traverse feels a bit precarious but there are hands if you feel for them. Downclimb from P5 looked tricky but actually was a doddle, such grippy rock.

Lauren.corbett	24 Apr, 2019	Show βeta βeta: Warning - don't attempt on a sunny bank holiday weekend OR if you do then get there early. Also not convinced on the route finding, think everyone got it wrong on at least one pitch, if you are doing a really horrible down climb its because you missed out the 'traverse left' through the gap.
