Rockfax Description
An amazing crack-line which doesn't let up until over the final bulge. Start just right of Sacred Idol at a thin corner-crack. Climb the corner and thin crack to a small roof. Move round this and tackle the crack above, which becomes more challenging up to a ledge 6m below the top. Escape right up the hanging groove/arete to the top.
Red Giant, E4 6a. The crack direct.
