Rockfax Description
Tucked away high above the traffic on the extreme left of the Unknown Wall is this exciting and very exposed pitch. Approach via a vegetated path that rises up leftwards under the wall from the base of the face. Follow the path for 100m to a final steep step which ends at a good vegetated ledge and small tree belay on the right, with a cave 5m above and right. Move up a small rib to a spike at its top and step right to a ledge beneath the left side of the overhung cave. Climb very steeply through the overhang on loose looking, but good solid holds to a small tree. Move up to a peg and then follow thin cracks to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: Cleared the belay ledge (tree + micro wire belay, could do with a peg) and the route. Slightly sketchy approach but well worth seeking out! | ||

βeta: Couldn\'t find any bolt to ab off but the two stakes are there. One is solid, the other is very wobbly, so make sure you equalise them properly. | βeta? | |
