50m, 2 pitches. The dominating central crack-line. Steep, strenuous and intimidating and with some loose rock on pitch two. Start 5m right of Tudor Rose on a boulder pile. 1) 5a, 20m. From the top of the boulders, move out left across a slab to the base of a broken crack-line. Follow the crack-line, past a niche, and move right to a thread belay on a ledge on the slab. 2) 5b, 30m. Climb up left to the fault-line and gain the wall passing a bulge on the left. Follow a steep groove direct, stepping left at its top. Pass a big wedged-in block to gain the exit corner. A couple of large cams are useful on this pitch. © ROCKFAX

In one. Dusty, from lack of traffic i think, but a good pitch. Jenni had a good go at breaking off that loose bock at the top but its still firm. Looks solid enough for the minute, but take care.

Did this in one pitch belayed by Ollie (10). Not as good an experience as I was hoping for - the climbing was alright, the protection was poor (I had no Friends)and the rock was crap - extremely dusty all the way up. Otherwise a lovely hot evening in a great position.

P2 - good thuggy fun with an incredibly precarious looking jammed block at the top of the groove - step left to avoid it

Bottom of the first pitch pretty unprotected great thread belay. Second pitch steady, apart from the hanging block. Now on less than 10mm but still wouldn't fall. Low in the grade (apart from the block ;-))
