UKC

Rockfax Description
A tremendous sport route that features a hard pull over the overhang and is topped off with a technical face crack. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
The third full sport route on this section. The obvious crack in the headwall is gained via a tricky move over the roof. 'The' route of the quarry and a strong candidate for best Fr.7a on sandstone. If the bolts are too far apart, feel free to add more at your own expense.

βeta: Very pleased to get this one ticked off the list. Tried it first a year ago but every return was scrapped by seepage. Had another chance a couple of weeks ago and dropped it twice on the second crux, (crack sequence). Managed to get it first go this time. Amazing route!
