Rockfax Description
The refined and well-travelled wall and crack climbing is very sustained and tiring, even though most of the handholds are positive. Start up a tricky initial wall and then move up right to tackle a short crack, flake and final hand-crack. © Rockfax

βeta: Fantastic route; has a bit of everything involved jamming, lay-offs and crimps. Couple of polished holds but doesn’t take anything away from the climb. | ||
