12m. A fine and tenuous finger crack. Gain the base of the crack from the left via the big pocket or (harder) from below. Perfect wires protect thin layback moves at two-thirds height and the awkward finishing crack which is less bold than it used to be! © ROCKFAX

not a great warm up after being sat in a car for 2 hours. lovely climbing though.
DanOsb - 2nd - 16/Jun/13 with w.pettet-smith

Great Protection, with 2 small nuts in the middle and a cam in the pocket. Beautiful Sunset to boot.

Wanted to do this for years, but every time I felt up to it it was wet! Good climbing, shame it isn't 3 times as long. Not as hard as I expected and the gear is perfect.

Happy with this! Alun pointed out a couple of vital holds which allowed me to get up clean, otherwise I'd have probably pumped out figuring out the moves.

Froze my fingers so downclimbed to ground with one runner in, then sent it clean. Classic but all over too quickly!

After dad lead it, I followed up! Didn't get to feel the true authenticity of the route whilst placing gear (as seconding), so didn't really appreciate the difficulty - easy on second, but lovely climb! Will return to lead myself for sure!

Totally superb and definitive E3 6a. Provaricated half way up for a while in search of a solid way to do the crux. Still ended up feeling tenuous but great moves.
