Rockfax Description
A good strenuous pitch, well protected too. Start up the leaning flake system then pull out left on to the wall and up to a rest. Climb the flakes round the edge of the roof then continue until forced to traverse left below the shrubbery to Zombie. © Rockfax

βeta: Top tip, when near the top, traverse level with the peg out left which you can see from the ground. Saves going into the horrible jungle above. | βeta? | |

βeta: The "leaning flake system" is indeed awkward. I found this much harder than the upper laybacking, which was great fun! | βeta? | |
