Rockfax Description
Popular but a bit bolder than you might be expecting. Start up Gamma but follow the diagonal crack out right to the left end of a heathery ledge. Balance right and finish up the juggy wall just left to the next crack (Trapeze Direct). © Rockfax

βeta: My partner got two really good RP's in above the traverse, I had never seen that before.. they looked solid for what they were.. He didn't test them, mind!

βeta: A bit harder than expected - and quite run out. HS 4a would be a more appropriate grade.

βeta: Sweet route this- shame about the antique chipping. Managed to protect the traverse by mashing in a copperhead (only joking).

βeta: Really good route for playing with your head. Traverse not difficult, but feels a little precarious (and maybe a little polished), and somewhat awkward to protect and so feels slightly run out and exposed. Well worth doing.

βeta: A relly nice route. I think the foot traverse is not too hard, with plenty for feet, there's just no gear till the end of it. A good 'head' climb. Much better, from the seconds point of view, to use half ropes so there is some protection for the traverse.
