Rockfax Description
A good combination of pitches that makes the most of the best rock. Start below a recess down and just right of the white slab.
1) 4a, 35m. Move up into the recess below the steep start to the slab. Climb right of the corner of Daufaen to gain the base of the slab. Go diagonally right to a niche (possible belay). Move left and climb the bold white slab to the Y Borfa ledge. Belay below the final steep corner (Honeysuckle Corner).
2) 4b, 16m. Enter the stunning groove and climb it to the top. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
A very worthwhile combination of contrasting pitches. Nicely sustained, with a well-positioned final pitch.

βeta: The start of the route as shown in the CC guide is is a short scramble above the \"path\", and if there ever was a large spike at the foot of this route, it has long gone. There is a spike at the base of Daufaen a few metres to the climbers left. Pitch 2 is almost devoid of protection, but small Tricams might work in pockets where even Totem Technical cams won\'t fit. | ||

βeta: We almost ran out of rope for the first pitch using 60m halves. If you have shorter ropes you'll need to scramble over the overlap before you start belaying. | βeta? | |
