Rockfax Description
A fine line with good climbing when dry, but it is usually green and damp. Climb the groove, passing a tree, to the blank bulge with some fixed gear. Bridge up this with difficulty to gain the upper groove. Climb this on mostly grass holds. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
There have been reports of a rockfall from the upper groove. As a result, some of the fixed gear is missing.

FA. Derek Carnell, W.Jackson (aid) 1960.

βeta: did this route today...it was thoroughly dry after all the hot weather, and spot on at a good HVS. there's no need to rely on the pegs, the lower one can be backed up, and there are good friend placements once you've made a move or two up. get on it now whilst it's dry!
