Rockfax Description
A strong line although the second pitch is often wet. Start at a large corner with a slabby looking right wall, just down the slope from a small walled shelter.
1) 5b, 26m. Head up the thin slab then move right along a small ledge to a dirty corner. Climb the corner and traverse to a belay below the huge corner.
2) 5b, 28m. Head up the wide flake-crack and traverse right and up into the base of the huge corner. Climb the corner, making use of a crack in its right wall, until moves right reach the arete. Follow the arete to a grassy ledge and belay.
3) 4b, 20m. The corner-crack to the top. © Rockfax
