Rockfax Description
One of the best routes in the valley incorporating sustained climbing in a wild position up a superb natural line. Stand in a long sling on the first bolt to reach a good hold beneath the large undercut flakes. Pull onto the rock and move rightwards to gain a good flake hold. Follow the spectacular line strenuously all the way to the lower-off. 7c+ if the start is climbed free. © Rockfax

βeta: Really strenuous and pumpy. Not one to get a flash pump on, so make sure you are warmed up properly. Don't be put off by the aid start, its worth it oncce you get climbing.
