Rockfax Description
A stunning 'out there' sport route that starts in an oval niche. Scramble up to a ledge beneath the niche. Boulder out of the niche with difficulty to gain a brief reprise on the wall above. Move up to the roof and blast through this before any remaining power wanes. High in the grade. © Rockfax
