[Digitron, 3 kb]38m. An immaculate pitch and one of the best for its grade anywhere with technically varied and absorbing climbing. The difficulty gently escalates with height to a challenging finale. Climb easily to a peg then make a tricky move up and right to good holds by a small sapling, continue up a slight groove following cracks to a second peg. Move left and step up to a good resting ledge beneath an overhang. Undercut rightwards beneath the overhang then pull around the slight arete to reach another good rest beside a small niche. Pull up and leftwards on small holds to reach bigger holds beneath a peg. Four feet above the peg is a good jug and reaching it is the crux, once gained pull up slightly leftwards to a small sapling then finish easily to the right. An outstanding route. © ROCKFAX

First E2 and what a route. Had a moment after traversing round the roof, but pulled it together for the grand finale. Cheers Diggler.

A cool trip with technical non pumpy climbing. Went wrong way at the top mind, out left into a flake instead of up from the peg. Tricky all the same. There's a photo of the top move in the guide somewere I later discovered.

Really involving experience. The move up to the final peg in particular quite committing, then well-pro crux to the jug with a massive stretch. As 3 star as routes get. 2 and half hour round trip from car park just about doable if you send your partner to sprint back just before gates are locked at 5pm.
