Rockfax Description
The best easier route on the wall with good protection. Start up some juggy flakes then make a thin move up the smooth slab to big holds in the scoop above (thread). © Rockfax

βeta: We looked for a while but couldn\'t find bolted abseil at the top, which is listed on UKC and Rockfax guidebook as being just a couple of routes left of this one. So be prepared to walk a distance to find an alternative ab point or else walk to the far left of Quick Tick Wall to the path down. Walking around on top is sketchy, especially if ground a bit wet as will have to walk around on grass/ soil on thin ledges with steep slopes. So remember to take approach shoes up with you. Also I don\'t think this is a particularly easy HVS, not that well protected in the blank section between initial flakes and next juggy flake above. If fall here then may deck out, or at least be close to? | ||

βeta: Ok climb, but couldnt find the abseil bolts at all, maybe we were being thick but it isnt easy to escape otherwise. | βeta? | |
