8m.

Rockfax Description
8m. The pleasant stepped groove is as good a beginner's climb as any of the cliff, and is less polished than most hereabouts. © Rockfax

βeta: This is a lovely route with a great line & would be a superb first lead, looks steep from below but with huge holds & lots of gear. It may be easy but it's the best route of its grade in the Peak

βeta: More intimdating looking from the ground, than it turns out to be. An easy bimble, and possibly a good first lead. If you can't climb this, it's either your first day, or you are in the wrong game.
