FB:7B | ★★★ Popo Agie
Pronounced P'po shar. Start with left-hand on arete. Jump for big sloper on face with right hand then match hands and climb diagonally right on desperately slopey holds to a good edge, then top out. The jug pocket way on the right is obviously off route. If you can reach the finishing edge with your foot still hooking the arete, then it's probably only 6cish - but this is only relevant to very tall customers. | ||||

FB:7B | Bump the hand that feeds you
Start on the jugs at the start of the roof, throw for the obvious hold in the middle of the roof, and then make it to the lip, and top out. Pretty scary, since you are pulling moves over a sizeable fall. Shorter climbers might find it a little more challenging. FA: Ashton, 7 Jan | ||||
