10m. A real cracker of a face climb. Use the diagonal crack to reach the first overlap, move straight through and pass a second overlap on its right to gain a small niche. The final wall gives a fitting finale. © ROCKFAX

Minor epic. Definitely not E2 5b as according to CC guide.
LJC - Lead - 13/Jan/12 with Jack, Tom

Sustained, no real stopper moves, but anybody can climb well on a top-rope. I would not have the stamina to stand around fiddling with gear.

The guide made it sound like a bit of a nightmare but gear was ample (I placed 9 pieces) and the climbing was at the bottom end of the 5c grade. I think it might be closer to E2 5c.

Got dark, rock wet, we bailed onto the severe to the left. Had to 2nd with a head torch, did more than half philatus clean before falling just below the last piece of gear.

Took this little number much too lightly, it gets the E3 for sustaindness I guess, and finding protection worth anything was hard. Every time I spent ages trying to find pro, which was rubbish, then I commkited to the next move and immediatly spotted what would have been much preferable gear., A lesson in reading the whole climb and not just the climbinbg
