Rockfax Description
Takes the line of cracks right of, and then above, the holly tree at 8m. Follow the thin crack to a hollow above the tree and vegetation-choked crack. Pull up to the long crack that leads to a ledge (possible belay) and finish up the short corner. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Original start was up the groove with the holly tree. This is now very overgrown but the start of Quicksilver provides a sensible and pleasant alternative. Up Quicksilver to the niche then step left and up the crack to large ledges. Follow a crack at the back of the ledge to the top and abseil point.

βeta: A very good climb, via Quicksilver start: gear on demand, soft for the grade, obvious route finding. Quicksilver is arguably harder and more distinctive. | βeta? | |
