A magnificent route up groovy rock. The protection is good, after the start, but the climbing is steep and sustained until you get to the headwall. Start on a ledge right of the recess and traverse left to reach the left-hand of two grooves above the pool. Contort up the groove to reach a wide crack, follow this then traverse right and up across the steep wall. Step around the juggy arete, in a superb position, into another groove. Climb this and the bulge above with difficulty. Finish more easily up the razor sharp headwall. © ROCKFAX

Great climbing, slight shame about the rambly top but it didn't bother me at the time! Best E3 I've done maybe.

Awesome route, nice steep, airy moves and the route just keeps going. Not bad first E3 as all hard moves are well protected.
