Fearless 40m E9 6c

This route takes a direct start to Fear of Failure, thus providing the most direct line up the centre of the crag. Start at an obvious twisting groove at the base of the lower wall (approximately 7m left of the shared start of Vladimir the Impaler and Fear of Failure). Climb the groove to the large ledge, step 2m right, summon your courage and launch up the blank bulging wall to the obvious break. From here, steep well protected climbing leads into the crux of Fear of Failure and onwards to the easier upper reaches.
