Rockfax Description
An entertaining, big and burly roof climb starting from the right-hand pile of boulders in the centre of the cave. A good knee-bar above the large roof gives a quick hands-off rest. The first bolt might need to be stick-clipped by the short. © Rockfax

βeta: The clip is easiest from a foot lock in the crack above the roof - although this method is potentially also the scariest! | βeta? | |

βeta: The clip over the roof is hard to make if short. Either climb past it before clipping or tape a long extender down closer and in reach... | βeta? | |
