Rockfax Description
(The English Tourist). This route takes a good line to the right of the slabs, just right of the green streak. Particularly good and bold climbing on the upper pitches.
1) N3, 45m. Start just right of the green rock in the centre of the slabs and follow the cracked slab straight up to good ledges.
2) N3, 45m. Follow the same line up slabs to a belay overlooking the left edge of the slabs.
3) N4+, 50m. Move up and left through a small overlap, then up slabs to a diagonal crack slanting right up a steep slab. Hand traverse up this, then follow slabs straight up to ledges.
4) N3, 50m. Head straight up easy slabs, taking a line heading towards the big obvious overhang higher up. Belay at a big horizontal crack before the slabs start to steepen.
5) N4+, 45m. Climb up the unprotected slab straight up to a nut belay under the big overhang.
6) N4+, 55m. Traverse delicately left under the overhang (may be wet) into the corner. Follow this up to easy slabs keeping just right of the green rock. Belay at a large grass ledge.
7) N4+, 60m. Traverse up and left on an unprotected slab to reach a loose flake on the arete. Climb the deep corner above leading to good climbing up the cracked arete to a good ledge.
8) 30m. Easy climbing and scrambling to the top. © Rockfax
