Rockfax Description
A big line that forces its way up the right-hand side of the wall. Start at two short shallow grooves. Climb the right-hand groove and wall to a peg near the top of the initial wall and move up left to a ledge. Head up to pegs and make a series of hard, bold moves to another peg. Now climb up into an overhanging niche and move out right and up to the roof and better holds. Traverse left and over the roof at its narrowest (as for The Committal Chamber) to a sloping ledge. Finish up the corner above. © Rockfax

βeta: Great route, top roped before leading. Added a new finish up the wall on the left. Don’t rock up onto the ledge, move left and quest up the wall. Great fun! | βeta? | |
