Rockfax Description
A lovely climb with an exposed second pitch. Start at the base of a broad buttress with small twin caves at 7m.
1) 4a, 18m. Climb up to and out of the right-hand cave via an awkward move and continue to a large ledge. Take the short vertical wall to another large ledge and belay.
2) 4b, 32m. Ascend the square-cut corner (just right of the main corner taken by Scar) for 4m and then move out right to the arete. Step around the arete to a small exposed ledge and climb the face right of the arete to a tree. A short wall above leads to easy climbing and the top. © Rockfax
