Description
While it may be a bit different from your typical Rumney sport climbing, this boulder start to the classic Nexus (13a) provides a bit longer of a route for those willing to bring some crash pads to the crag. This route starts on the perfectly shaped sloper at the edge of the roof under Stone Worms, 5.9-, before following decent crimps to the inside edge of the cave. Traversing left, one can find a few rest positions before reaching the large ledge of Nexus. For the FA, a pre-clipped rope with a locker was left for after the boulder start.
Note: We weren't sure if this needed its own page, but it does add a considerable amount of climbing, pump, and another distinct crux (~V6) to the route.
