Making a start on the crux of Flying Buttress Direct HVS 5b
Making a start on the crux of Flying Buttress Direct HVS 5b
Getting to this point is relatively straightforward. The next move(s) involve a strenuous heelhook onto one of the flakes above the climber SK2483 : Giving it some beans - Flying Buttress Direct HVS 5b and then reaching up to further holds above that. The climbers in the background are at the foot of the Leaning Buttress area, where things are generally a little less problematic. Photo scanned from a Fujichrome 50 slide.
