Rockfax Description
This thuggy route follows the huge flake-crack in the centre of the buttress. It requires some large clanking gear to protect it. Start below the flake-crack, gain and climb it to the roof at the top and pass this on its left. © Rockfax

βeta: Definitely E1 and not a soft one. Great climbing, with some tough sections between rests. No.1 nut stuck near start on 10/08/24. Apologies! It\'s a bit keyholed in, and hard (frustrating!) to direct back through the keyhole. A no.4 cam is an asset. | βeta? | |

βeta: Top is very loose. Take care not to dislodge rocks onto your belayer. | βeta? | |

βeta: All quite impressive - good line and good laybacking sections. There is some seriously dubious rock at the very top! | βeta? | |

βeta: I found this harder to lead than The Arrow, but of course it's difficult to compare as they are so different. Great route. | βeta? | |
