UKC

Rockfax Description
22m. Long and varied. Up the left edge of the flaky slab then move right to a long crack which leads to a ledge. Move right and pull over the roof following the crack and its steeper continuation. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Alternative start on lowest boulder. Then pad up next slab - one piece of protection low down - to good ledge. Then straight up middle before going for chockstone in 'chimney' for right foot, and on to bivvy site. (Or attempt to reach chockstone from below). Employ six foot long leg to surmount overhang and pad up slab (or go right round the corner for a short man's alternative). Finally attack the summit blob in one way or another
