UKH Hills - 'The Big Wall'

20m.

Rockfax Description
A classic with hard climbing, good runners and some lo-o-ong reaches. Climb a crack to a flat roof then stretch left to a thin crack and climb this (hard) to a ledge on the arete. A large Friend might be found of use hereabouts. Make difficult moves into a cave (often dirty) and then easier - at least for the tall - moves out of it. The short may have to avoid this last section on the left. © Rockfax

FA. Mike Simpkins 1960s. FFA. John Allen 1975.

steveb2006	6 Sep, 2004	Show βeta βeta: The friend 4 placement is off route to the left in a grassy niche - it needs extending quite a bit. Cant see how anything smaller would fit unless you bury it deep in the crack. If you are feeling brave and ethical you can leave the friend 4 behind - there are reasonable small wire placements in a little horizontal crack at the foot of the crux wall. As for me I felt happier with the friend 4 in as I didnt think the top wall was a piece of piss (Maybe if your very tall it is!).	βeta?
