Roof Route

5.10b, Trad, 35 ft (11 m),  Avg: 1 from 1 vote
FA: Joe Brown, 1950s
International > Europe > United Kingdom > England > Peak District > Rivelin Valley > Rivelin Edge

Description

A classic, strenuous problem. Up the easy groove then tackle the crack in the roof - hard to get feet past the lip. HVS 5b but opinions on the grade differ widely!

Location

This route lies on the last-but-one substantial buttress on the edge. There is an obvious neb with a crack in it.
