The Riders 30m HVS 5a ☆
Posted by: Stephen Reid, 02.07.201801.07.2018, SJH Reid, B Davison, N Foster Upper Shamrock: This is the short but steep crag above the Shamrock Traverse.
The obvious grooved arête above the start of the Shamrock Traverse proves tougher than it looks. Climb the arête to a pillar under the groove. This is hard to start but eventually eases – continue up to a good diagonal crack belay. An easy 30m traverse left leads to a scree descent.
