UKC Logbook Description
Javu P46, Climbers Club Dartmoor (2017) P52, South Devon & Dartmoor (1995) P17.

The extremely bold right arĂȘte of the main slab is of high boulder problem height but would probably really hurt if you fell off.

Step off the block and climb the right arete of the slab via crystals, ripples and smears. After the thin crux, good holds are reached which allow an easier, but serious, finish up the left-hand side of the arete. A cam in the initial low break may protect the crux but it is likely you will hit the ledge if you fall.
