Rockfax Description
The leaning crack is jammed to a poor rest at the break. Build a bomb-shelter then make the crucial precarious layback moves up and left to reach a ladder of jugs. A great contender for your first grit E1, and this one won't be down-graded. © Rockfax

βeta: At the crux, pocket to the right takes two fingers and is much more usable than looks from below. Frees up the left hand to reach up higher.

βeta: These routes are looking a bit ruined now to me. Damaged cam placements, sugary damaged grit and polish. Queues of people taking repeated lobs of them both like indoor sport routes.

βeta: Perfect gear, and even for those of us that avoided jamming anything, it's a good 'n. Right is far better, though. E1 5b sounds exactly right.
