Rockfax Description
A long-established Portland favourite. Climb to the narrow roof and pass it on the right before making some fingery moves back left above it to an easing. Continue to the base of the upper corner and follow cracks up this, exiting leftwards. © Rockfax

βeta: Finally done this clean! It is in the bag once the third bolt is reached but have always found the start hard, so happy it has been upgraded from 6b. Shame that the start isn't more in keeping with the upper 2/3 otherwise it would be a class 6a.
