Rockfax Description
Chubbin' desperate! The left-hand crack leads to a cramped recess. The exit is difficult - swing into a layback on jams (knees!) before sprinting to safety. Only HVS for grit gurus. © Rockfax

FA. Don Whillans 1952.

βeta: Beta in description isn't needed and isn't necessarily the best approach anyway.

βeta: Once again BETAFAX to the rescue. How about "Climb the corner crack. That one in front of your face. To the top."

βeta: Bloody desperate. Must be 5c, surely? Get 2 ok-ish jams in as high as you can, then kneel on the lip of the overhang before converting one to a toe (honest, it does work...) and stand up so that you layback left off the jams. Easy climbing remains!
