UKH Hills - 'Encouragement'

28m, 2 pitches.

Rockfax Description
A fine climb, varied and interesting. The first pitch is sweet though it is the second one that carries the full weight of the grade!
1) 5b, 14m. Climb the wall on crisp crimps (spaced gear) to the base of an elegant groove. Bridge up this to a good stance.
2) 5b, 14m. The solid jamming crack leads all too soon (unless you are pumped senseless) to easy ground. Exit boldly left up the wall or escape out right to easy ground. © Rockfax

Toby Dunn	21 Jul, 2003	Show βeta βeta: 5c?! hmmm... the jamming is easier than, say, matinee: a tad steep but with solid jams. pretty standard E1.	βeta?
