Rockfax Description
8m. From the block, a short flake gives access to the rib and this is followed on its right-hand side apart from the last couple of moves back on the front face. © Rockfax

βeta: Birds nest half way up Rib right hand. Nest has 5-6 eggs in. There’s a break with foliage then you can see two small tufts of grass above this break (one on the right slightly higher than the one on left). Nest is in the one to the left closest the arête. When found stepped in towards the corner to move around before stepping out on to route again | βeta? | |

βeta: If you take a line directly up the right arete and use no holds round to the right it is about severe 4a. It is a pleasant move over the overlap though. | βeta? | |

βeta: agree with all the above...if i could have voted for vdiff on the database i would have done so. that flake is a bit creaky tho'! what a great beginners crag, far better than Birchen for a low stress intro. to grit. | βeta? | |

βeta: Got to agree with the comments above. The softest VS in the world? A little exposed, when it comes to pro, but I'm afraid I'd rate it as an exposed VDiff - as long as you are happy with having your feet well above your last bit of pro. I used two bits of gear, the first because I thought I was about to find this 4c move, and the second, 'cos I was 10 feet from the top and still hadn't found it, and would have decked out if I'd slipped. | βeta? | |

βeta: I would have given this S 4a if the database voting system would have let me downgrade it that far. To be honest, it is barely rates that. May even be HVD. | βeta? | |

βeta: VS 4c? You're having a laugh. It doesn't even make Severe. Did anybody actually check this one before putting it in the guide? | βeta? | |
