[I'll have a glass after this., 2 kb]14m. Beautiful climbing, and on sculpted, jagged pockets and edges. Climb the lower ramp, then the pocketed wall above, with a tough move to gain the upper break. Finish direct to block belays a little higher. © ROCKFAX
On the Velvet Wall about 5mins walk from main crag

NIce route with a few reach moves. The rock is quite sharp and crozzly and the gear is a little bit fiddly to place so it felt quite pumpy.
