Rockfax Description
10m. A cracker at the grade, steep and quite pushy feeling. Pull up and right into the crack and follow it on excellent holds. A little tricky to protect because of the width of the main crack. © Rockfax

βeta: Didn't see the previous comment unfortunately, the kestrels are still nesting, so bailed off right. Best to still avoid.
