The hanging crack in the north face is gained by a hand-traverse from the deep in the gully. Care with the rope-work is needed. © Rockfax

βeta: This used to be VS 4b, and I don't actually think there's a 4c move on it - but at VS 4b it looked very much like it might be a soft touch VS - it is certainly not, if anything it's hard for the grade.

βeta: A pumpy little number on rough grit. Very hard to avoid rope drag though, even with twin ropes. The 'foot holds' are suprisingly good, if nearly invisible...
