Rockfax Description
Committing climbing on its main pitch. Start at a slab left of the corner of The Shroud.
1) 14m. Head up left to a corner with a tree in it. Move up the corner to a vegetated ledge and go right along it to a belay.
2) 4c, 28m. Climb the wall above the belay and then move left and up to a groove to the left of an overhang. Follow the groove, moving left to its continuation midway, to a stance and belay on a slab.
3) 4a, 20m. Climb leftwards up the slab to its top edge. Move left around the edge to a corner that leads to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: Rockfax pitch lengths are wrong. More like 8m, 40m, 12m. Better to avoid the first "pitch" by walking around to gain the ledge. A couple of small cams (e.g. small blue C4) may help. Only the bottom and the last pitch are mossy - but it adds rather than detracts, with most holds clean. May be different if damp.

βeta: Led P1 and P3 - both were rubbish. P2 however is MEGA. Loved it.

βeta: Gear was lacking on some fairly exposed sections on the second pitch.
