UKC

65m, 2 pitches.

Rockfax Description
The long flared corner gives a good sustained and protectable pitch. Start on a ledge under the corner. Climb up cracks to the horizontal break at the beginning of the corner itself. After a steep entry to the corner (peg) continue up the corner often on its right-hand side, until an easier angled right leading line gains an abseil station Alternatively the third pitch of Hell Gates can be climbed if desired - this is the traditional finish to the route. © Rockfax
