Climb the arete which is awkward at the top. Move up into a slight corner of The Bender and step right into a slabby and loose corner. Follow this to the fixed belay. © Rockfax

Rob M	19 Sep, 2020	Show βeta βeta: I was expecting a typical VS 4b, this is risky at the grade (as are afew at this cliff)! You get 1 AWFUL cam in the arete, that\'s it! So when I did this the 1st reliable piece of gear was well over 15m up & the \"mantle\" move / moving left beneath it is tricky & you\'re 6m up with nothing beneath you for safety! It really freaked me out at the time, if you\'re cool with risk it\'s fine but it\'s not a good 1 if you\'re new to VS!

However, I then got to point where I couldn't get any higher unless I wanted to climb through lots of nettles and brambles face first. I then proceeded to sit on a ledge while I waited for my mate to nip round and throw a rope down so I could ab back down and retrieve my gear.	βeta?

Offwidth	18 Aug, 2004	Show βeta βeta: The top pitch could do with a better description. Just right of the groove is a small triangular roof (possible confusion?) right again is a square roof and presumably the route takes the flaky crack out of the left side before moving left to join the other line. This flaky crack looks loose but is more solid than it appears and has some good moves.	βeta?
