I've had a few goes at The Veradah myself and it is true that pulling the lip of the roof is the crux of the route. Haven't managed to send it yet, but the trick seems to be arranging pro so as to minimize rope drag. The guide says to belay from Northern Ramble next door, but the only decent anchor point would be the start of the second pitch on that climb, where a large crack begins. Perhaps climbing Northern Ramble to that point then abseiling down to top-rope The Verandah could be the way to crack it ? |
