Rockfax Description
One of the finest grit experiences. A tricky start gains a flake in the arete. This leads to a break, which needs packing with cams, before the tasty finishing moves. Well worth attempting as a true ground-up, on-sight since commitment on the final moves will be rewarded with either success or flight-time. © Rockfax

βeta: Rory had a bash and came off after a foot slip on the crux to take the classic whipper. Pulled the ropes and sent on preplaced, minus his cam that ripped

βeta: Does what it says on the tin. Excellent line, excellent climbing, very committing. Lower crux is pretty easy....top crux is not that hard but feels highly unnerving at first. Took me a very, very long time to get used to the situation. Don't know about the wrong hand business, the hand I got in was the only one I could and it worked fine!

βeta: The low crux is definately the harder of the two cruxes. The top crux is not too hard just feels very commiting but the gear is good and by your feet.

βeta: If you get the sequence wrong its not too bad to swap hands in the pocket as long as you don't panic.

βeta: Easy to get in a twist if you get the hand sequence wrong on the runout - see photo in 1985 Derwent Grit guide for example.
