Rockfax Description
A good hard route which gives some great jamming up a strong line with three varied pitches. Opinions vary on the grade. Bring a good range of cams including a few big ones. Start down and right of the col at a clean area reached by an exposed scramble.
1) N6, 30m. Traverse right (bolt) and climb the thin crack before moving back left, then head direct to a good stance.
2) N6+, 35m. The thin crack in the steep groove leads to an overhang. Power over this and continue to the shoulder.
3) N6+, 20m. Descend left to the foot of a steep crack. Climb this, gradually widening, to an action-packed finish. © Rockfax

βeta: This is a magnificent climb without a bad pitch on it. 3 very contrasting pitches well worth seeking out. | βeta? | |
