Rockfax Description
A classy and sustained pitch to the left of the big cave. A bit of burly manoeuvring around the lower overhangs is followed by some more refined moves up the wall above. © Rockfax

βeta: Good route, much harder if you don’t use the undercut for the starting boulder problem - Maybe the hardest individual moves on a 7a+. Gives way to rewarding climbing to the anchor, excellent route. | ||
