Description
One of the more athletic problems at the Plantation, Steep Traverse climbs like it was set in a gym. The holds are good, the moves fun and shouldery, and the landing... well...
Start left of the featured arete (this is a fun V2 in itself, creatively named Steep Traverse Arete). There is a good jug in the scoop. Paste feet and move rightwards through several good crimps and a poor crack pod into the slopey start hold on the arete. Matching this is the crux, but moving off and up the pocketed arete is a joy. A long move to the top yields one of the biggest jugs on Stanage.
