Rockfax Description
A great pitch taking a direct line passing the break of The Smile. Start 4m right of the boulder at the start of Diamond Smiles. Move up the wall to a good nut placement in a pocket at 4m and continue to the wide break of The Smile. Move left and follow a faint line of weakness rightwards up the wall to another diagonal break. Move left along the break to a brown stained widening of the break and take the left leading crack above it to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: Typical Sharpnose top quality with typical Sharpnose grades i.e. feels pretty easy. Committing start but it's the "25 feet of very sustained climbing" above the break that's the highlight, simply brilliant. Top goes on a bit too! | βeta? | |

βeta: Very good climbing, but How is this given E4? barely 5c climbing and plenty of gear. More like e2/e3. Agree that diamond smile is better. | βeta? | |

βeta: Again, not a bold start - a good small/medium nut about 12 ft up. Surely no 6a moves out there and plenty of gear to keep you safe. Good but I think Diamond Smiles is better. | βeta? | |
