UKC

14m.

Rockfax Description
14m. The wall (with tricky mantelshelf) and the hanging crack above and right are followed until an escape left into the chimney becomes imperative and rather spoils the whole affair. The green and gritty scoop of the Direct Finish is a spooky E2 5c that is rarely climbed. © Rockfax

βeta: Not 5b by Hen Cloud standards. Steep, but good jams and well protected. Would get more stars but for the detour at the top.
