Rockfax Description
The crack that splits the overhang above the cave starts off on perfect jams but gradually widens to fist size and then widens a bit more. The moss adds a touch of spice. Walk off leftwards. © Rockfax

βeta: Upper end HVS, talk of E2/E3 is ludicrous. Cleaned the top out ledge of alot of vegetation/moss etc and lots of mud out of the crack in November 2020. Perhaps this spoils some sort of vegetation bashing horror top out that a few might have preferred but will make for a better enjoyable experience for most. A excellent little roof climb, which could be worth 2 stars in its current clean condition. | βeta? | |

βeta: Its HVS if you have meaty gritstoner's fists and don't mind getting then scratched. For weedy sports climbers it may indeed be E3! Chris | βeta? | |

βeta: Having soloed up to the roof on this, and contemplated the next move, I strongly suspect that this route is nearer E2 or even E3 than HVS. It looks to be considerably harder than The Unprintable at Stanage. | βeta? | |
