UKC

Rockfax Description
A spectacular pitch on good rock and good holds all the way, with enough protection from wires to keep the flutter factor manageable. Start beneath the amazing narrow wall of culm in the centre of the cliff. Climb the heavily pock-marked wall just to the right of the arete, past a small spike runner at 8m (on the arete) to where it forks left. Continue up the face on the right past good but spaced gear to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: Side runners possible behind the right corner flake if things are feeling too spicy. Likely reduces the grade to around HS though. Cracking route!
