Rockfax Description
A sustained pitch on the slim pillar right of Crocodile Crack. Start just left of the initial wide flake-crack of Crocodile Crack. Climb up past the overhangs to meet Crocodile Crack at the end of its move left. Head up right via a crack passing the overhang onto the wall above. Climb the wall to an overlap and, once past it, go up right to a small ledge on the arete. Finish up the arete - belay and abseil point. © Rockfax
