The thin crack line right of Concept of Kinky, left of Good Clean Fun.
Hard, sequency moves up the thin crack until you join Good Clean Fun at the juggy side pull. Finish up this.
Named after Klem, who died just below the problem on the walk out on Monday.
Could be harder, could be easier.
The line of CofK in the Stanage guide is marked wrong - it starts way further left from the top of a block. This line starts pretty much where the guide shows CofK starting.

Good work Ben. Top line that, easily missed (unless you happen to have climbed all the routes on Stanage)with the erroneous topo lines in the guides. Interested to hear how it climbs. I was trying it with a very spanned out sequence using the ribs either side of the crack, before giving up and writing it off as one for the tall.

Yeah the Klem thing was pretty sad although he did go out having fun - playing with the other 2 dogs about 5 mins earlier and trotting along quite happily right up till when he keeled over.

Jon - I didn't really try spanning it. Climbed up the crack for a few moves using opposing gastons, then a poor hold just right of arête to flip left hand to sidepull then a few more moves using the crack and an edge up higher... I took some vid the previous week but it's mostly me hanging on the rope and freezing + camera was on the wrong setting so the quality really poor. I was gonna film on Friday - took my tripod in but forgot camera.

Couldn't have gone a better way. And good climbing!
