Rockfax Description
65m. A route that epitomises Glen Coe climbing taking on the challenge of the central crack up the pale wall, cutting through an apex in the roof at half-height. Sustained and well protected. Scramble up to a ledge and tree belay below the crack.
1. 50m 6a Climb the initial wall to reach the base of the crack. Follow the crack to the right traverse to gain a small ledge (possible hanging belay). Regain the crack and climb it to a poor rest under the roof. Grab the jug on the lip and make hard moves (crux) above. Continue strenuously up the crack to a rest. Sustained but slightly easier climbing leads to an inverted flake under the final roof. Pull out right on undercuts to easier ground.
3. 15m Climb the wall above to finish.

βeta: Upper 3rd (a finger crack) was very much wet on this date - but not entirely impossible to climb. Might make you “Freak Out” though! | βeta? | |
