[Tom before the move out left., 3 kb]24m. Interesting with a good finale. Climb the easy chimney on the right then step out to the left and then make a short traverse (crux) to reach the base of the central flake-line. Romp up this in a superb position. © ROCKFAX

Excellent way to enjoy the upper face of tower face at a lower grade, the chimney is much better than it looks and the traverse is good too. If it wasn't so superseded by tower face and on another crag it would probably get 3 stars, as it is it is probably worth 2 stars. Unfortunately given no stars in the 2007 guide book a real unsung gem.

Hairy move from the chimney out onto the tower face but was rewarded at the end of the traverse by a glorious flake.

a pleasant enough way to reach the top half of the main route, but the main route (the HVS one) is definitely better.
