Rockfax Description
A good trad pitch. Climb up to and then past the right-hand end of an overlap. Move left up a depression (bolts) before traversing right to the bottom of the prominent corner-crack on the left-hand side of the tall pillar (peg). Climb the crack to a lower-off at the top of the pillar. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
First climbed with aid in the early 1960's by local young-guns Frank Booth, Jim Duff and Mick Goff. Now bolted. Climb directly past a thread at the right end of the bulging overlap. Continue up and right aiming for the obvious long corner which leads to the top of the crag.

Ed Cleasby, Cliff Brown, Mike Lynch 1975.

βeta: Tricky move passing the thread. More like F6a than a trad grade with a couple wires for top crack.
