Rockfax Description
An interesting route which has a very hard initial section which stops many attempts, and then eases considerably above. At the base of the wall is a cave. Climb up into this and step out rightwards along a break. Make a difficult move up the wall right of the cave, then move up and left across the wall to reach the easy upper section. This can be climbed almost anywhere. © Rockfax

βeta: Sucked that I found this was downgraded. This was my first climb in Pembrokeshire and I was chuffed to nail on the onsight. Nice thuggy moves getting out of the cave, even missed crucial hand holds.

βeta: Definitely worth more than 5b (every other route I did this w/end was 5b & I wasn't even close on this one! Next time it'll be different...)
