UKC

Rockfax Description
Quality from start to finish. Start at some tiny grooves left of some tree roots that sprout from a large yew tree on the right of the wall. Climb straight up to below a twisting corner/groove in the upper wall. A tricky sequence starts the corner/groove, which then leads to a finish shared with neighbouring lines. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Start 6m right of the obvious groove of Questor. Follow the line of a thin crack and continue up a poorly protected slab to a large, white niche containing a flake. Move up; then go diagonally rightwards to enter the steep groove left of the flying fin. Move right at the top of the groove, and finish up the chimney, as for The Firebird. Take plenty of quickdraws.

βeta: Great route! But, some parts of the rock at the bottom looks/feels a tad loose. I also managed to dislodge a small microwave size rock from the easy top part.

βeta: Added a new strand of 5mm to the anchor and removed some older stuff. I agree with Badgerjockey that the yew could do with a backup to one of the trees further back....

βeta: The belay is a yew which seems fine. Well, it held us two slobs. But for how much longer? Would be nice to have another static line from one of the trees further back.
