UKC

Rockfax Description
When dry this route gives fine and varied climbing that leads up the lower slabs to meet up with Crescent Climb. Start at the far right-hand end of some low overhangs.
1) 4a, 30m. Swing up and left on a jug and continue to below a shallow left-trending groove. Follow the groove and slab past some vegetation to a belay just below a block.
2) 4a, 30m. Stand on the block and make a hard move to get established in the little corner above. Move left and climb the excellent slab to meet up with Crescent Climb at its traverse. Traverse easily right to a belay.
3) 25m. Pitch 3 of Crescent Climb. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Enjoyable climbing up the slabs to the R. of Crescent Climb. Very worthwhile despite the grassy appearance.

βeta: I number of comments talk about a lack of gear. I don't think this is true. Apart from the upper (easier part of pitch 2). But some of it is harder to find and the crux is pitch 2 benefits from very small cams and micro nuts.

βeta: Lovely climbing & rock, if wet on first pitch even after dry-ish spell.
