UKH Hills - 'Phoenix Climb'

26m.

Rockfax Description
Vintage Harding and well-worth the walk up. The superb straight crack gives classic jamming past a useful hole to reach easier but still-steep ground. A wider section of crack gains a ledge; climb the groove on the left then finish direct or move out right for a superb airy exit. © Rockfax

FA. Peter Harding 1947.

Big silver cam and hexes may come in handy for the weird shapes higher up but you can use other stuff to protect There\'s a loose block that looks like a spike on the ledge, at foot level, think was just before you\'re about to start top left corner

Jon Greengrass	10 Jun, 2004	Show βeta βeta: Fantastic!! The hole is amazing , i've never seen anything quite like it. in the top half the rock is a little broken and of lower quality and the very top is a bit green and a let down , this sections only worth about VDiff.	βeta?
