Wimberry - Sloping Top

One of Wimberry's best, characterised by gnarly top outs requiring an enthusiastic approach to the delicate art of the mantleshelf.

1. Blunt arete, pocket on left side of arete to an awkward top out. Not the best landing, 5.
2. The Slot. Good climbing. Sidepull and undercut the slot to reach the layaway flake and so the top, 5+.
3. Fat Slapper. The blunt arete. Crimpy difficult start brings a sloper followed by a desperate top out. Fun, 6b+. (sitting start 7a).

4. Slap Happy. An excellent problem. Reach the flake, match the lip and mantel, 6c.
5. Slapstick. Pinch and slap up the vague arete/rib to the right. Short and slappy, 6b.
