Slippery Slab!


The highlight of last sunday trip to Stone Farm was Pascal redpoint of 'Pinnacle Buttress' which is supposed to be a 5a slab. We reckon nowdays is probably closer to 5b because the footholds are now extremely polished. The climb itself involves some very technical moves with precarious foot smears and a very crimpy finger hold in the crux sequence. Neither Cristian (who has flashed 6a), nor me nor Patrik (we both climb at around 5b - 5c) could do the climb. Well done Pascal ... !
