Rockfax Description
The awesome roof-crack is a desperate struggle for most. An awkward groove leads to a poor rest, then undercut out left. The struggle to pass the lip will doubtless leave its mark one way or another. Easy jamming remains, if you have any steam left. © Rockfax

FA. Don Whillans 1959.

βeta: Birtles and I put the salt and vinegar on Jim's jamming scars in Stoney cafe that day - seemed a good way to clean and sterilise them. He yelped piteously! Sentinel's definitely more straightforward than Emerald. Sutty told me The Villain pissed up it!

βeta: Re Sutty's comments on UKC; Whillans led (after prior top-roping) with a rope carrying a peg but ended up not placing any pro - so effectively a solo. I understood that JC removed the chockstone (on lead) that Birtle's placed.

βeta: Don Whillans told me he soloed the first ascent ie no gear !. Jim Campbell did the second ascent and had salt and vinegar put on his hands in the cafe afterwards. Geoff Birtles did an early ascent after dropping a big limestone chockstone in the crack.
