Rockfax Description
An outstanding route that wends its way up the rounded prow in an outrageous position. There are lots of threads and other fixed gear but a rack is required. Begin at the base of the arete. Move up right and then back left to the arete and continue to a cave. Make some difficult moves to exit the cave, then follow pockets up leftwards to an overhung niche. Pull out of the niche on the right and then head for a crack up left - hard. Take the crack and wall above it to the left end of the long capping roof. Finish up the broken and vegetated final wall to bolt belays. © Rockfax

βeta: It's worth noting that the first 2 bolts at the start are a harder direct version. The original went up left and followed easier but looser ground to the cave. The Direct start was bolted and climbed by Neil Dyer, and adds a bit to the difficulty. | βeta? | |
