Rockfax Description
Brilliant; the crag's best route. Sprint up the lower crack, than ease your pace for the lengthy wobble up the balder slab above. Cross the overlap (right of the small notch) with confidence, and teeter up the final slab to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: Excellent route. The lower grey slab is an easy VS with as much gear as you can carry (mostly wires), the upper white slab is totally bold but only about HVD. The top-out is awkward with lots of loose rock and soil, worth preparing a belay before the climb with long slings from the stakes up on the slope

βeta: Please be VERY careful of the loose rock on top, especially if there're teams below you waiting to climb this slab. Be very careful while taking/coiling your ropes.
