Rockfax Description
The clean slabby wall gives a stunning and bold pitch. Start below the middle of the face. Move up right and then boldly left to reach a right-facing flake/groove in the centre of the face. From its top move up to a narrow sloping ledge and then climb up to a right-trending overhang. Finish up a groove on its right. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Excellent slab climbing, bold in places.
Start in the centre of the slab at the top of the gully underneath Kennel Wall and the imposing hanging slab of One Step Beyond. Climb the slab, rightwards at first and then cut back left across the blank wall to the obvious flake. Ascend straight up for a few metres then move right to the obvious groove in the overhang. Climb the groove to finish.

βeta: The sloping shelf above the central flake is gained from the left at E2 5b, not via a direct hard mantelshelf (as I did!). A reasonable nut in a pocket on the wall and a tiny cam in the obvious undercut provide the pro here.
