Rockfax Description
The tricky bulging crack-line was named after a bet that the crag was worked out; well it wasn't forty years ago and it probably isn't now! © Rockfax

βeta: Where is the crux of this route as i found that i could go over the boulder at half height (where the guide book say's is the crux) easily but then got stuck trying to get onto the slab. Also is the squeeze at the mid height boulders or at the top of the route? | ||

βeta: Absolutely fantastic hard work but deffinately worth the skin loss just for the amusement. Dont think i would like to try it if i was any bigger than i am. Woulsnt advise trying it in any clothing you value and deffinately no gear as it will only slow you down | βeta? | |

βeta: I squeezed through the boulder and it was ace, though a rope and a rack was more of a hinderance than a help. Solo it, the bottom is easy. In fact isn't squeezing under the boulder more like VDiff 6a? | βeta? | |
