Wimberry - Sloping Top

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

Sloping Top

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).

Sloping Top

4. Slap Happy. An excellent problem. Reach the flake, match the lip and mantel, 6c. Sit Happy is, you've guessed it, the sit start at 7a+.
5. Slapstick. Pinch and slap up the vague arete/rib to the right. Short and slappy, 6b. A hard sit start, The Grey Road, goes at 7b+.
