Rockfax Description
The big diagonal flake is a delight in good conditions but unpleasantly slick if at all damp. Not one for an unsure second as the start is tough and protection on the blunt end not good. © Rockfax

βeta: Good climbing with a hard start. Getting the clips out again proved entertaining.... :o)

βeta: Great route, however the big jug/flake to the right of the lower-off came off in my hands! good job i had already clipped in! this has not effected the route as there are loads of holds to finish the climb. the flake/jug on the left of the lower-off looks a bit dodgy as well.

βeta: The start is hard, and therefore the routes gets its 6b. The rest is lovely, but relatively straightforward. A number of superb hand-jam rests in the big flakes means that only the inept will get pumped!

βeta: Some nice sustained pumpy action all the way up to the 5th bolt. A lot easier going once you get round the last roof up to the LO point. Lovely route.
