Rockfax Description
The left edge of the slab has a hard start using a vague crack and polished holds. It eases a little above. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
The Rockfax topo shows the route finishing up the prow above the big ledge, but the BMC guide says only to the ledge, and gives the line on the upper prow V2 (5c) separately.

βeta: Top block a lot of fun. Gear quite low for top out and the move is pretty tough.
