Crag: Carn Boel

Hands of Stone

Date of ascent: 13/04/2017
Length/grade/stars: 18m E2 5c worth stars
Climbers: Rob Seymour, James Mann

Start location:

Start on the flat-topped block between River Man and Magnolia Hawks (CC route archive 23 May 2016) at the bottom of the steep crack lurking at the back of the impending corner/groove.

Pitch descriptions:

Fight up the widening crack to an awkward exit into a scoop above. Continue with interest up the thin continuation crack and wall above. Fine climbing. A determined approach pays.

Additional info:

Named for Roberto Duran, the great Panamanian boxer who liked nothing more than a good inside brawl. Pink Moon (further left, CC route archive 30 May 2016) repeated, quality confirmed: good rock, solid gear, good climbing, well worth stars. Over-graded at E1 5b?
