The compelling black slot starting on the left wall before making a series of tough bridging moves to attain a good ledge. From here traditional back-and-foot technique. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Tough and devious. The obvious black]stained chimney is one of the main features of the whole upper tier. Start initially on the left wall and then make a series of nervy, barely]protected bridging moves at the limit of stretch and decency to attain the ledge at 2/3 height. From here the top is reached via the more traditional back]and]foot technique. Tough but rewarding, this route has nothing whatsoever in common with its Stanage counterpart, except in name.
