Rockfax Description
A reasonably popular line that should only be considered after prolonged dry periods due to the amount of moss. Start below a steep mossy crack.
1) 5a, 28m. Climb the steep crack to a slab. Move up and then left to a thin crack in the wall on the left. Follow the crack to an overhang and traverse right until moves rightwards over the overhang gain a wall and belay just above.
2) 5a, 16m. Climb the corner and traverse left to a belay (abseil possible from here).
3) 4b, 15m. Climb left of a mossy streak to the top. © Rockfax
