Blackorette

FA unknown

Description

Stunning razor thin series of broken aretes. This gets 11b in the guidebook but feels soft for the grade.

Progress up a steep corner using a scattered crack system. Eventually transfer onto the prominent and intimidating black arete at around 2/3 height and layback (crux) up this arete and over the top to an easy juggy slab. Don't get sucked into the line of crimps on the yellow face to the right.

Location

The obvious black arete on the rightmost side of the crag. The trail basically dumps you at the base.

Protection

Bolts (7) to chain anchors. Be careful of the razor edge, as it has the potential to shred ropes in the case of a fall at the wrong spot.
