Rockfax Description
The first route on the sunny south face. From a short crack/slot climb diagonally left along the break to gain the easier arete by a tricky move. A very photogenic pitch. © Rockfax

βeta: Looks striking from a distance and it's even better when you actually climb it :-)

βeta: Look out for the perched blocks above and to the right of the start of the route. They look loose and may not stay perched much longer!
