UKH Hills - 'The Peapod'

16m.

Rockfax Description
Mega-classic. A short slippery crack leads to the base of the pod. Back and foot up this to a difficult exit. Arguments abound about the best way to face, we suggest left! The awkward upper crack leads to an easy chimney finish. © Rockfax

cheque	20 May	Show βeta βeta: Rockfax have been describing this route as having “an easy chimney finish” for more than 20 years. I can only assume that’s in confusion with Right Eliminate as there is no chimney after the awkward upper crack of The Peapod.	βeta?

dycotiles	28 Sep, 2006	Show βeta βeta: Brilliant. When I exited the pod, was so tyred that spent about 10min panting on the 'ledge'. What a route! Did it facing left, next time I'll go back and I'll do it facing right, so the issue can be settled!	βeta?

Al Evans	27 Aug, 2006	Show βeta βeta: Definitely face left, you only have to look at the angle ot the Pod walls, Go up the back and place the runners as high as possible, cos you cant when you are climbing,you should be right on the outside facing left. And dont try to pull out of the back and foot too soon. Probably a rare roiute easier for the short.

Dave Walker	1 Sep, 2004	Show βeta βeta: Seconded but couldn`t get past the ledge @ the top due to the ballaching exit & sudden rain. Needs a bus stop & rest area on that, oh so beckoning, ledge! Only for the bison legged?	βeta?

Duz Walker	18 Aug, 2004	Show βeta βeta: Tough. Faced left all the way, but regret being beta'ed into not experimenting with some of the ways in the photos. Done this way tough on the ankles (esp left) for a bit then brief army pull and push gets you out, enjoy!	βeta?
