Rockfax Description
This fine little expedition follows the huge groove found in the eastern edge of the Tower. A great line, terrific positions - and at an amenable grade. Split it at one third height or lead the route in one almighty pitch. Reach it either via the front of the Tower, or, at high tide or in rough seas, use the descending terraces at the back of the Tower to reach it. To retreat from the finishing ridge, scramble across the very top of the Tower and then down directly to the access col. © Rockfax

βeta: Stayed left of the short groove at the top as the arête seemed a nice (if not a little loose) place to be. It’s a great long pitch on the roughest rock imaginable. Do it. No ab needed.

βeta: Led P2, superb hero climbing on the roughest, sharpest, grippiest rock I’ve ever climbed, no real loose rock in the corner, there is 1 sideways parsons nose block that I left alone just in case. The scramble down the col, right then left is easy, but there is a small spike in the col should you want a confidence rope

βeta: Loose rock throughout. Less green as you get higher. Little polish and well protected.

βeta: Don’t get tempted left onto the arête of the second pitch, it’s very loose. Stay right in the corner.
