Rockfax Description
The long crack has a tricky layback move to reach a rest on the right then an awkward crack leads into the final short groove. © Rockfax

βeta: Top anchor is a bit crap. There is nothing much over the top of the crag so ended up using gear in the top of the crack (bomber) and sitting on the little pedestal on the right (where it gets the name from, perhaps?). Makes finishing up awkward for the second but at least the last few moves are pretty easy and there are plentiful holds to avoid pulling on the leaders crotch. | βeta? | |

βeta: I found plenty of good gear, but the top was definitely a little pumpy. | βeta? | |

βeta: Nice route seconded it as i dont enjoy cracks too much but you dont spend much time in the crack, thug up the bottom then layback the flake, i only used the crack for balance. | ||

βeta: My second HVS and would have to say the first real one. Proper stuff this not a top end VS. Leaving the safety of the flake may prove difficult...the crux. Went and did tody's wall after this,felt like 4b compared to P/crack | βeta? | |

βeta: My first HVS onsight, loved every minute of it. Never too hard but it keeps coming at you. Long legs might get you a rest level with the roof on the right. | βeta? | |
