70m, 3 pitches.

Rockfax Description
A popular route which makes the most of the broad rib at the left end of the crag. Start on the left-hand side of the buttress.
1) 4a, 15m. Climb up a slim groove and make a hard pull up onto a break. Head rightwards across this to a memorable final traverse right onto a ledge on the nose.
2) 4b, 20m. Move up the right-hand side of the rib and step left into a small crack. Head up towards a tower. Balancy moves over this lead to easier moves towards a crack. Finish up the short crack. The belay is well back on the large tree.
3) 30m. Move right along the ledge and climb an easy slab to the left of a vegetated bay. At the top of the slab, step right into the bay and move diagonally across it to the top right corner. Climb the crack above to a tree and then follow a final crack and slabs to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: Linked pitch 1 & 2 together into one mega 40m or so pitch to the garden ledge. Highly recommend this, just manage your ropes properly and it\'ll be fine. Great climbing on clean unvegetated rock, just follow the rib directly once on it flitting back and forth a little in places to maintain upwards progress. Don\'t go too far right otherwise you\'ll end up on the E2 Valor.

βeta: It appears that the (optional) P1 belay tree mentioned in older guides on the foot-ledge above the nose is long gone. Either that or I was on completely the wrong buttress. Topo line in old RockFax Pokketz also seems too far right, newer guide says start higher-up left and traverse right, which seems more sensible.

βeta: Great route. I found the 1st pitch harder than 2nd.
