Rockfax Description
Start a short way down and right of the clear bay, at a small tree that is below a large right-facing corner. Climb the corner to a large ledge on the left. Continue up the corner above (tricky to start). Finish by moving left under a small yew tree to a ledge below a larger tree. Abseil from here. © Rockfax

βeta: Nice route, felt fairly stiff at VS. Belay/ab tat in good condition around the big tree. In other news the Piercefield pub has changed ownership and is now not shutting at 8pm on weekdays so is a good post climb beer option once again :)

βeta: Cleared the ledge of brambles and tidied up the tat at the belay, replaced some tat as required.

βeta: Egg on the ledge which could be a dud from last year or could be an early lay. Please keep an eye out for anymore or stressed birds and be careful (and notify area rep). Doesn't look like a nest but may need to close the climb if it becomes one.

βeta: Take plenty of mid-sized nuts. It's better to take this in two pitches as the belayer can't see above the ledge from the bottom. When moving off the ledge there's a good pocket at 3m which is used for both a hand hold and later a foothold. Good jugs left of the sapling for mounting the ledge.
