Rockfax Description
The 'fully trad' diagonal crackline is a very pleasing pitch with good gear placements. Can also be finished out rightwards to the shared lower-off on Rain Dance. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
The easiest route up the middle of the slab. Follow the obvious crack. Best route of the crag?
