Grade Route

FFA: Dave Cathbertson, 1983

The bottom half of the "9b" project, climbed as far as the obvious big undercut at the top of the black streak. Follow Persistence of Vision to its belay. Crimp and side pull your way to the big ledge which is followed rightwards to a big move into Requiem. Exit this immediately (crux) to rejoin the bolt line at the frustratingly slopey ramp. More hard moves on postive holds lead to the undercut. Lower from here, unless you are part of the next generation!

FA: Alan Cassidy, 2013

FA: William Bosi, Jul 2022

FA: Sonnie Trotter

Follows the crackline of Requiem and then splits off to the left for a direct finish. One of the hardest trad climbs in the world.

FFA: Dave MacLeod, 2006
