Rockfax Description
The fingery grey pillar on the far left, above the steps. It eases with height but the previous grade of 5 caught a few folks out. © Rockfax

βeta: This isn’t a 5a it’s probably a 6a (like in the rockfax book) or higher. The top belay loop swings you right when lowering. 		βeta?

Reichbaum 13 Mar, 2017 Lead dog Really hard, even for a 6a. I think you're supposed to go right through the little cavelike feature so the draws are on your left, but we had to use the arete to get up to the ledge. Fun, but difficult!
