Black Wall Direct >>
30m. The best route on the wall with lots of fine climbing on good rock. Climb to a low peg and move directly up to a thin crack system. Excellent technical climbing up this gains a break. Follow the wall above, past a peg, to the broken band of rock. Head directly up this to below a white-stained crack and then step right to below another crack. Step up to reach the crack and the top. © ROCKFAX

Some worthwhile moves in the middle. Obvious direct top out is loose and dusty. Best sticking to original line in the guide book for the finish. Rather generously given 3 star in the RF guide.

Some good climbing but again; not 3 stars in the bigger scheme of things!
