Rockfax Description
A meandering line with some good sections of hard and exposed climbing. Move up to the left-hand side of the oval niche of Ten. Difficult climbing leads to a steep flake-line, which is followed to easier ground. Traverse leftwards past a cave (possible belay) to the base of a V-groove. Move up the groove and exit left up the wall to finish at the shrub-lined crag edge. © Rockfax
