Becka Lawson on the exciting ascending traverse, Hooked on
Classics, now rigged as a tension traverse with 5 bolts (static rope
left in 1999). This leads up to Angle of Dangle, a strongly joint-controlled
phreatic passage hading at 35-40° throughout and ascending steeply at
more than 40°. Anyone who has just done Hooked on Classics will find
this straightforward to ascend without gear :-)
