Rockfax Description
The right-hand arete of the wall gives an extremely unlikely looking route - honest it is only E2! Start below the arete at low tide. Climb up razor sharp rock to a ledge on the right. Step left onto the wall and move up using a crack out left. Continue up the left-hand side of the arete above in a fine position. © Rockfax
