Rockfax Description
Fine sustained tufa climbing; technical and balancy despite its steepness. Climb the wall via a couple of bulges to an open groove and easier ground. © Rockfax

βeta: If I didn't feel pumped, it's not pumpy. Loads of obvious, quick to place gear. Enough places to shake out if you look for the feet. This is E2. | βeta? | |

βeta: Just thought I would add that this route is very safe with easy to place gear - as placments are quite worn. It is def sustained with no real rests - but very nice climbing too. | βeta? | |

βeta: Good route that could do with a pumpy symbol, because it is. Intricate climbing and some great rock features. | βeta? | |

βeta: I only seconded this one, but I agree with what the previous comment says - solid E3 and hard work getting the gear in and out. | βeta? | |

βeta: Seemed solid E3 to me. Hard to get the crucial gear, no real rests, sustained, crux when you're pumped, all those things say E3. Downgrading the 'amenable E2s' eg Captain Reliable seems more appropriate. | βeta? | |

βeta: Yeah, but it is only a hard E2 in reality - easier than Scoop Wall etc and plenty of others... Just E3 compared to Stadens ameanable E2's | βeta? | |

βeta: In the 1987 Stoney guide, this was reckoned to be the 4th hardest _E3_ at Staden. | βeta? | |
