UKH Hills - 'Purple Haze'

46m, 2 pitches.

Rockfax Description
A fine climb with a good open finish, high on the wall. Start by the thorn tree under a left-facing flake leading to an overhang.
1) 5b, 22m. A thin flake, overhang and groove lead awkwardly to easier grooves and the terrace.
2) 5a, 24m. Follow the wide flake-crack of Ploy from the terrace, then the fine steep wall and corner to finish. © Rockfax

Chris the Tall	1 Aug, 2005	Show βeta βeta: Excellant route. Bottom end E1 but definately 5b - quite sustained and although the gear is good throughout it gets tiring to place. Basically, I want an E point for the effort!!	βeta?

The Grist	18 Apr, 2005	Show βeta βeta: I would say HVS climbing but maybe E1 protection on the crux. Is also possible to do in one big pitch all the way to the top. Rope drag wasn't an issue as it went pretty much straight up.	βeta?
