Rockfax Description
The imposing fissure is one of gritstone's great crack ticks. A blocky crack leads to a sentry-box. Runners can be placed deep in the crack (tricky in a helmet) but a large cam is easier. Shin up the outside of the crack to a jug on the arete then get established in the upper crack. The wide upper section eases. © Rockfax

βeta: Completely desperate! Never been so knackered by a route in my life - my whole body was shaking and I wanted to throw up by the time I dragged myself to the top. I didn't find the 'easy' laybacking on the upper half easy at all. Classic :) | βeta? | |
