UKH Hills - 'Scoop Face'

12m.

Rockfax Description
12m. The classic of the crag and low in the grade. Using glassy slopers reach a good hold (5b for the short) and attain a standing position. Pad across the scoop and go up a thin crack to a pocket (Hex/cam) and a tricky finish on the left. Barefoot ascents have long been traditional though modern sticky rubber is a much better idea! For those who can't manage the start, the scoop can be accessed from Keep Arete at VS 4c. © Rockfax

FA. Stanley Jeffcoat 1914.

andy_b135	19 Sep, 2006	Show βeta βeta: Easy for the grade, but a distinct lack of gear, you need a hex for the pocket, I put i friend in it which wriggled out. My first HVS though, not much harder than nozag	βeta?

The Mountain Goat	26 Jun, 2005	Show βeta βeta: Led this on what I thought was my first HVS lead, only to find later that I had done the Vs 4c start. As long as your not drunk balencing in the scoop shouldn't cause problems. I to experiance a worrying lack of gear at the top! Will definatly go back and do it properly.

Si dH	9 May, 2005	Show βeta βeta: Yep friend 3 absolutely bomber in the hole although tricky to squeeze in, and out! I didnt get anything else in after that although I could if I'd looked more carefully, the top-out definitely made it feel like HVS, very bold.	βeta?

Rampikino	14 Apr, 2005	Show βeta βeta: Gripping - much more than expected. Did the 4c start and it still shattered my nerves. The gear was hit and miss, only saw the high friend placement late, but it made all the difference in making that steep move over the top. A good route, but feels serious.	βeta?
