Rockfax Description
75m. The prominent feature of the route is a long crack, running diagonally right for 3m then straight up, which begins in the middle of the wall right of the water streaks. Start behind the right edge of the detached block.
1. 25m 4a Climb to a small bulging wall at 10m, then follow a fault which goes through the bulge to a ledge.
2. 30m 4a Above and right is the long crack. Climb it using the wall on the right, awkward but nice climbing to a small ledge with a diminishing rowan tree.
3. 20m Continue to the broad ledge. Scramble up slabs to The Terrace, or by traversing the ledge some distance left gain the Quietude abseil.

βeta: First pitch is very ran out and the placements available are pretty sketchy when you do find them. Rockfax app topo is wrong, you end up traversing far right onto the ledge at the end of P1 and then traversing back out for P2. | βeta? | |

βeta: Had to abseil off on 14/8/2022 due to rain and thunder. Left a sling. It has a Tough Tag with my name and address. Any kind climber care to post it to me would be much appreciated. | βeta? | |
