Rockfax Description
The best route on the crag has three cruxes separated by rests, each one probably worth the grade on its own, or maybe the grade above? Climb the fractured lower wall then move left to a pillar. Fridge-hug up this to the sandy cut-away. The Millstone-esque finger crack leads up to another rest. This can also be done using a big hold on the right. Place some solid runners then make the breath-taking finish up the arete. Pull back right then left to the lower-off at a tree. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Good climbing, start up the broken wall below somes thin cracks, use the arete, to gain a sandy patch of rock above. Make hard but well protected moves up a crack to gain a good ledge, place enough gear to protect the exciting moves up the arete to reach a ledge, finish slightly right over a small overhang.

βeta: Brilliant. Two beefy pulls then a wonderful heart-flutter finish up the arete. Now has a fixed sling and krab on the tree at the top. | βeta? | |

βeta: Removed the Hawthorne that was starting to encroach and lots of brambles off the lower wall to the left of the line, possible to start a bit more direct, still clean enough April 2021 | βeta? | |
