Rockfax Description
The once heathery slab that forms the back of the recess is followed directly and is worryingly difficult to protect, especially on the upper wall. The groove on the left is Diff. © Rockfax

βeta: The route I took was the VD marked in the Staffordshire grit guide, and lies between the Diff and the Severe on the topo on here. It's a nice route, and the bold move above the ledge at half height makes it all the more satisfying!
