Rockfax Description
The best on the crag with diverse and sustained climbing. Start at a rib that leads up to a low roof. Ascend the rib to the roof and move past it on the right before stepping left and up past a peg to an overlap. Move up right before heading up the wall to the top. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
A first class climb too! Camalot 2 / Friend 2.5 needed (or maybe not, see below)

First class indeed, despite the fallacious description in the guidebook - there is no 2.5 Friend at the overlap nor wire in a pocket. Instead, climb the right side of the rib to a thin break (perfect micro-cam), then delicately left to the peg. Good gear at the overlap above protects sustained moves right then left past it onto the ramp and bold but easier finish. Action packed!

A.Phizacklea, JL Holden and A. Rowell Apr/1990.

βeta: The starting rib has a few bits of gear and at the right hand side of the overlap there is a slot that takes gear. (Rock 3 and green totem basic). Though this is All you get until the peg!
