Rockfax Description
The Borrowdale rite of passage still holds a few surprises even for the initiated. Climb the leaning thin crack. A good shake-out in the middle is bracketed by some tough sequences. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
A superb line following the obvious crack over two bulges. Committing moves are needed for the crux moves (easier for the tall). Where the crack stops, mantle onto a ledge for a welcome arm rest before finishing up the pleasantly easing upper slab.

βeta: A great gym problem, very strong moves but always over bomber gear. A large deadpoint at the start gains a small nut, from which a powerful rockover must be done. After reaching up the crack a very good rest is reached. After this a few steep moves bring you to a ledge and the climb is all but over. A high large tree can be used for the belay | ||
