12m. Move easily up to a block ledge at the start of the zigzag crack. Well protected moves up the initial crack lead to a committing traverse left on hollow but good holds, pull into the continuation crack and good wires then finish slightly leftwards up easier ground. © ROCKFAX

Top roped clean on sight. Protection looks a bit sparse in places but the moves are all do-able. Enjoyed the traverse once I got onto it. Want to come back and lead it now!

Very fingery crack with a hollow flake at the crux! Aptly named: the top gear was so insecure, it just lifted out... :o

Fell off the traverse! TR'ed it after and it felt fairly hard?

No really hard moves but steadiness helps when placing wires at the rest after the traverse.
