Rockfax Description
14m. The soaring left wall of the rift offers a sterling challenge. Climb the crack to its end then a thinner crack to its termination. From here poor pockets (and bold climbing) lead slightly rightwards to the top © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Climb the initail crack, move left to a smaller crack, up this then right to better holds, from where you can gather your thoughts before committing to the finish.

Mike Hammill, Al Manson. Sep/1977.

βeta: Not lead so can't really comment on the boldness, but really good moves. A definite 3 star route. It's possible (but probably slightly harder) to finish left rather than under the roof.
