8m.
Rockfax Description
8m. The thin crack in the right wall of the chimney deserves its name (and 5c) if you don't use the footholds behind you! © Rockfax

βeta: ...p.s. probably only deserves the * if you DO use the holds behind you because of the varied climbing and interesting moves, especially leaving the bridging positions. | βeta? | |

βeta: An unsatisfactory and spoilt line graded at 5c (according to BMC guide) if you don't use the holds behind you. Best investing your time and effort in a 3* 5c route like San Melas | βeta? | |

βeta: I think the holds on the wall behind must be "in" at the grade. Which is still a stiff 4c. Although pro does not look promising from below (the crack appearing to be "blind"), it does in fact come to hand at precisely the right moment(s) - in fact well protected. Some very nice lay-away moves. Most enjoyable, safe, technical and memorable climbing. | βeta? | |

βeta: The old definitive guide describes the route as using the footholds on the left in order to get started. When did they become 'forbidden'? | βeta? | |

βeta: It deserves it's name if you don't use the footholds on the arete behind. The top few moves are great fun though. | βeta? | |
