Rockfax Description
A technical pitch based on the slabby arete. The bottom 3m has the odd loose hold but the rock higher up is perfect. There is a jammed wire, thread, peg and a lower-off. © Rockfax

βeta: The wire is probably ok but very old, can be backed up. The thread was knackered and theres plenty of other pro so removed it. The peg is good but can also be backed up.
