Rockfax Description
The big corner between the narrow east face and the right-hand wall requires sustained laybacking and bridging leading to a loose finish. Start at the bottom of the corner, end at the top with a bit of a rest on a ledge on the left. Alternatively you could go and find a better route somewhere else. © Rockfax
