Rockfax Description
Often regarded as THE Lancashire classic. Start up the crack in the left side of the buttress (awkward 5a) then tackle the fine finger-crack splitting the centre of the upper tower. It is best done in a single pitch. © Rockfax

βeta: Block that pie_eater_pete refers to below came off today. Maybe a little harder now to transition out of the hand crack but a lot safer. | βeta? | |
