Rockfax Description
22m. The blunt central arete of the crag is approached from a short way up the crack on the right to reach a ledge. Climb boldly up the right-hand side of the arete, eventually using a long fluting, then moving back left. The short upper groove of Goldfinger brings welcome relief. © Rockfax
