Rockfax Description
300m. A grand route taking in the line of corners and grooves in the centre of the face. It would have made a great trad route but has unfortunately been bolted. Even so, it is still very good. Pitch 4 can seep after rain. If climbing with 50m ropes, there is an off route abseil station that can be useful when abseiling pitch 8.
1) 5b, 2) 3c, 3) 6a, 4) 6b, 5) 6a, 6) 5c, 7) 6a, 8) 6b, 9) 6a,
10) 6b. There is an optional short 20m pitch of 4c to the summit but this isn't bolted. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Excellent, sustained and athletic. FIXE hangers. Take 12 quickdraws and 2x50. 6b oblig. Don't mistake it for Jean-Sé's Project to the left... Descent: abseil back down the route - look out for the off-route anchor - it's quite hidden in a little cave.
