Rockfax Description
An unlikely grade for a bold-looking route. Start at the foot of the knife-edge arête. Step off a block and climb the arête on good holds but poor protection to a large ledge. Move right and climb slightly dirty rock, avoiding the heather by stepping out airily on to the front face of the buttress. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
An unlikely grade for a bold-looking route. Start at the foot of the knife-edge arête left of the huge overhung corner of Semerikod. Climb the arête on good holds but with less-than-good gear to a large ledge. Turn right and climb rather dirty rock, avoiding the heather by stepping out airily on to the front face of the buttress.

βeta: Recommend starting the route from the large block at the foot of the arête. The arête has some gear if you look carefully - an RP can be useful. Also, avoid the last few horrible feet of the top-out by making a downward step out to the right above the overhang (as the guidebook description!) | ||
