The first E10 on grit, climbed by Neil Bentley in 2000, Equilibrium has held its grade and repelled all but the most dedicated – or reckless. Neil Gresham stepped up in 2002 after a sustained effort (and yoga), whilst keen youth James Pearson sketched through the no-fall zone in 2005. The route has not been repeated since.
The route features a 7C+ boulder problem from which Neil Gresham took several ground-sweeping falls, followed by an hard runout to a pocket and a welcome cam.
