'A major UK classic taking a rising traverse leftwards across Wen Slab to a sensational finale where the zawn drops away below your feet. The climbing itself is not hard but the grade is well justified due to the exposure and the consequences of either the leader or the second falling off the final pitch into empty space. Carrying prussics is highly recommended.'
The fifth pic shows the gear used on pitch 3 and the penultimate one shows the belay nut & hex and the protection used on the final traverse. 50 mins to ab in sort the belay and flake ropes, then 4 hours for the route. The woodcam got some shots of me climbing, neat-oh: beesbeans.com .
First time we looked at this last year it made us queasy but after a breakfast of marmalade pancakes and Chef Wood's Spanish omelette you're ready for anything. (He isn't Spanish btw). Last pic is Wood's reason for not washing up.
