Rockfax Description
The best route at Stoney. It follows the groove to a bulge - first hard section - to a rest in a recess. Head up the bulging crack above to an old peg, then make hard bridging moves up and left to another crack. This last section is pumpier on the legs than the arms, if you do it right. © Rockfax

βeta: Best to stay right pulling over the top bulge especially if damp.

βeta: Hard E2 or E3 but I didn't think it was that good. Maybe 2 stars.

βeta: Doing a route like this makes you wonder why Stoney is so unpopular now days. As much fun as any route I've done in the Peak. Possibly E3.
