UKC

40m.

Rockfax Description
A really pleasing pitch. Clean, protectable and with some great climbing. Gain the ledge at 4m and then take a slight corner on the left to access a ledge at the base of the main corner. Intricate bridging up the corner ends at a small ledge on the left. Move up and then work rightwards up the wall past ledges to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: Thanks to CheeseMonkey and JulioFranco, this route now has an improved top anchor - with lines coming from the top to replace a rather old single line. The newer pieces of tat have been left in place at the belay stance.

βeta: Good in situ thread on crux. Medium friend at hip height backs up questionable belay tat at top. Slightly better tat to ab off on Sinew a short way up and right.

βeta: abseil tat was a bit rubbish but if you continue up the fixed rope (part of the abseil station fixed to unknown bush/tree) and there is another abseil station in better condition to the right (50m ropes reach ground with plenty spare). To replace 15/20m of rope probably needed to fix to a suitably large tree higher up the bank.

βeta: White static rope forming part of anchor seems to be in good condition and around a large tree a (long) way up the slope. Black rope around a good tree but getting in bad condition and covered in slime. They can be backed up with a sling around a good sapling about 4 or 5 metres up the slope behind the belay

βeta: Top rope isn't great, I used it as 1 point of an anchor built on the ledge about 5m lower down. Just putting tat on the bushes next to it is not to be recommended, nor is using the loose blocks next to them.

βeta: I recommend the next party take up some tat, it's a bit dodgy at the moment.

βeta: Beware of loose rock just below the top and when topping out.
