I have checked in my 1969 copy of south east england guide and niblic was originally a 5c .So how does a climb get easier when all the moves are basically the same.Still aclassic and well worth doing for the 3***.
Hey guys, i started climbing at harrisons about 3 weeks ago, I've just made the jump from 4c to 5a and was wondering if this would be a good route to try as im looking to push myself.
I'm predominantly a sport climber, so the idea of having a go regardless of your chance of onsighting it seems fine to me (as long as you're on a top rope). If you come off, just try it again until you succeed. Good luck! Have fun!
Did this today! I was really disappointed to find out it had been downgraded though - I thought I had done my first 5c. Seemed miles harder than Spider Wall though which is rated 5b :/. Odd.
Some tricky moves, particularly onsight. I've seen some pretty competent climbers who wouldn't normally come off 5b take a fall on it. Probably easy 5c.
i dislocated my knee on this years back. weird seeing it climbed. gotta laugh though. wish i'd seen how to swerve such a twatty mistake move off this 1st.

Good effort! A fine climb, whatever the grade.

Fantastic route. No way it's 5c though.

A valuable I've always found this one really difficult. I still haven't mastered how to rock over onto the right leg at the second break.

Using chalk, shame on you.

Like 95% of climbers I've ever seen at Harrisons- I assume that means you are in the 5% who do don't- well done.
