FA: 1960s
International > Europe > United Kingdom > England > Peak District > Stoney Middleton > Prayer Wheel Wall

Description

Move up from one horizontal break to the next to reach very thin crux moves about 40' up. UK grade is E2 (implying an overall grade of maybe 5.10c/d) 6a (implying technical difficulty of about 5.11c). It gets a lower overall grade since the crux is short and reasonably well-protected.

Location

Lies on the slabby wall to the right of the steeper Prayer Wheel Wall. Start 20' right of the corner.

Protection

Mainly wires.
