Rockfax Description
A short crack leads to a ledge. Head right (awkward to start) finishing just right of the holly. Tricky to protect and reachy. © Rockfax

βeta: I protected the move above the ledge with a tiny red Dragonfly on ground level, on the left behind the fern.

βeta: Hard, unprotected move off the ledge. Needs a long reach. Easier to the right for the short

βeta: It's a cracker! Certainly easier for the lanky though, there's some good rock here. That flake is a winner.

βeta: Now seems to get VS, though terribly easy for that grade... Nice route, with good flake moves higher up.

βeta: Really nice little climb, Gets the grade as its run-out in the middle until you make a tricky move off the ledge to grab the flake.
