The peak of old school, vert micro crimping? One of the hardest problems in the UK when it was established and rarely repeated to this day.
6 successful ascents recorded.

| First ascent. | ||||
|
A very impressive ascent for it's time, one of the hardest pieces of climbing in the country. Date is a guess based on Andy Popp suggesting it was done in the "mid to late eighties" [1] and another suggestion it was 1985 [2].

Andy used a top rope for the top out as it was very wet. References[1] https://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/rocktalk/pex_hill_question-205344?v=1#x3003787 [2] https://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,8692.msg653384.html#msg653384 |
