UKC

26m, 2 pitches.

Rockfax Description
A rambling classic up the ridge which has a mini-Alpine feel. It is a bit of a one-move-wonder, but well worthwhile despite that.
1) 6m. Climb to a belay on the ledge below a step.
2) 20m. Tricky and exposed moves above the left edge of the ledge then relatively easy ground leads all the way to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: Thought this was quite bold for the grade, and probably worth HVD. Might as well solo it. I know many climbers that are pushing VS and would feel uncomfortable on the run outs, sloopy holds and big step ups. Fantastic climb all the same

βeta: definatly a one move wonder but worth it. bit of a let down at the end. more like a vdiff than hvd3c (hvd3c in The Roaches difinitve guide)
