18m. Devious climbing up the diagonal cracks in the wall. A good jamming crack is climbed to its end. Traverse the continuation leftwards until it is possible to step up and follow another crack back to the right. The finish lies up the daunting wide crack and is a little easier than it appears from below. © ROCKFAX

I loved the top-out - awkward off-width! The lower part is tricky (still 5a?), too. Good route.

i proved there's certainly tonnes of gear in it and got way too comfortable in the top wide crack, traverse's were fun though!

The offwidth is the crux (and the toughest bit of the E2 as well!)
Bart Shaw - Lead O/S - 26/Mar/11 with Andy, mark

absolutely nails for HVS, hard, polished and awkward, with an offwidth to finish.
