Rockfax Description
Is it E5 or E6? Either way it feels bold. Start just left of centre of the wall below a crack. Climb the crack passing two threads to reach the sanctuary of a good hold. Above is a peg and beyond is another 'thank God' hold. Stand on this second good hold, then move up and left and climb boldly to the top. Cunning climbers have found a nut runner on the right - we didn't! © Rockfax

βeta: Peg removed. It's possible to get a good micro cam in its place (not tested what it's like to place while climbing as it was dripping wet). A third thread has also appeared out left, don't know how easy it is to clip on lead but it looks solid. The hard-to-spot good nut near the top is on the left, not the right.

βeta: Peg is currently in pretty poor state. Nearby Skyhooks can back up. Reading comments and speaking to people sounds like there are various options for where people move left in relation to the spike hold/ledge. Not that obvious.
