125m, 4 pitches.

Rockfax Description
VS. Some pleasant climbing with a spectacular finish, and quite popular. Start below a steep slab at the left edge of the wall.
1) 4, 45m. Climb to and up a steep groove, step into the groove on the right, and up to large block (belay possible). Climb the wall trending right then direct to a ledge, chain belay.
2) 3, 15m. Traverse easily leftwards along ledges to reach a large bay at the foot of an arete.
3) 4, 45m. Climb the arete into a slanting groove. Go up this and move right at its top to a ledge (belay possible). Move left and climb the slab rightwards stepping left at the top onto a good ledge and trees.
4) 4+, 20m. From the left end of the ledge climb direct to the steep wall above. Follow the exposed leftwards-slanting fault-line which leads to the top.
Descent - Abseil back down the line. © Rockfax

Different Steve	13 Apr, 2005	Show βeta βeta: Pleasant but broken climbing for the most part with occasionally tricky gear. Top pitch is indeed spectacular and much harder than the rest of the route. A rather 'bushwhacking' walkoff to the hairpins on the road is quite straightforward.	βeta?
