Rockfax Description
Steep, crazy climbing, tackling the cave at its very centre. Start on the right side of the pillar. Worth 7b, S3 as a DWS.
1) 13m, 6a. Climb the short groove, then up through two roofs, to belay on the left.
2) 10m, 6a. Traverse rightwards along a fault, then pull up and left to gain a hanging wall, belay at the top of this.
3) 10m, 6b. Climb leftwards and down slightly, to make a precarious bridge onto the horn. Then get established on it, using a distant undercut. Follow a line of undercuts to gain the corner above, belaying on the thread as for The Abyss.
4) 12m, 5b. As for The Abyss. © Rockfax
