Rockfax Description
A great route, and the most compelling line on this wall. While there are no stopper moves, the climbing is sustained and involved throughout. Start from the foot of the rock gully by a block belay, about 10m down and left from the start of Red Wall.
1) 4c, 35m. Move left into the sandy groove, and take the easiest line up and left, following the faultline to a sloping ledge.
2) 5b, 45m. This pitch tackles the continuation of the large sandy fault/chimney/crack. Climb up past a shallow depression, and make a committing move to gain the start of the corner. Continue up this, passing two sloping ledges, and belay on the third which is to the left of the final corner.
3) 4b, 14m. Move back into the main corner and follow a line up this; great care is needed with both rock and protection. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
An awesome outing up another of RHRW's lovely chimneys. Friendly and well protected for a route on this cliff!

βeta: The last moves to the P2 belay are a bit spooky. A large block has obviously recently gone missing and the one below is not long for this world!

βeta: Pulled off a big spike at top of groove of pitch 2 might be some loose rock left behind - take care

βeta: If you use DMM cams you will need a Dragon 4 (Gold) for the "Blue Remembered Hills" belay. Not beta as this info is in the GroundUp guidebook but that specifies a Friend 3 (Blue).
