Rockfax Description
A big adventure that should not be underestimated. Start just left of the tree below a ramp at 8m. 1) 6b, 23m. Climb the deceptively difficult wall (peg at the start of the ramp), and move up to the top of the ramp (bolt). A series of hard moves past a peg and bulge (sometimes wet) are rewarded with a bolt. Move left around the arete (bolt) then climb the tricky wall above to the break and belay (old pegs backed up with good cams).2) 5c, 18m. Traverse left to the steep finishing groove of Friday the Thirteenth. © Rockfax
