Rockfax Description
One of Gower's top routes that features some of the best exposure on offer in the area. A 'must do' for any climber. Follow the groove heading up and left to underneath the widest part of the capping overhang (possible belay). Tiptoe right using polished hand holds (clipping the wooden wedge for luck!) and pull over the overhang at its weakest point on surprisingly unhelpful holds and finish direct. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Start at the prominent leftward-slanting groove system towards the right-hand end of the face. Follow the groove to the overhangs at their widest point (possible belay), PRs. Traverse right to pull over the overhang at its weakest point and so gain the top.
E Pardoe, R Griffiths Feb/1967.

βeta: We took a somewhat detour as finished up Horsis. Made sure that when we went up Horsis we topped out on Osiris (mix match). Love the wooden peg. Did we clip? Yes, though its quite clear it wouldn\'t arrest a duck\'s fart. | βeta? | |
