UKH Hills - 'Hope'

135m, 4 pitches.

Rockfax Description
The most 'classic' of the classics here. Of course 'classic' often also means polished and, in this case, the polish makes the route a good bit harder in the wet.
1) 45m. A quartzy slab leads to ledges and an A-shaped niche in the overlap. Pull through this. More slab work leads to a stance.
2) 25m. The glossy twin-cracks allow for skiddy progress to a flake. Step left onto the slab and climb featured rock to a corner.
3) 20m. Neat climbing on crinkly holds leads to a groove stance.
4) 28m. Climb the groove and sidestep the bulge leftwards, to reach ledgy ground and a shared stance with Faith.
5) 42m. Continue up the groove until things rear up and climb the polished step to ledges and escape left to a belay ledge. © Rockfax

PappaDaq	20 Apr, 2022	Show βeta βeta: Great wee route, did it as a group of 4! If going in the morning, would recommend taking some gloves as the slabs are in the shade all, if not, most of the morning :) Will be coming back for the multi-pitch swinging leads!	βeta?

Madajo	26 May, 2019	Show βeta βeta: Seems like every piece of rock is horribly polished. Also the abseil block isn\'t particularly obvious and doesn\'t seem to be connected to the main face. If this is such a common descent would it be so bad to add bolts?	βeta?
