Rockfax Description
Pleasant, popular and polished climbing with three good pitches. Start below a small broken rib at 4m, just right of Clarion.
1) 4b, 22m. Climb the broken rib to a break at the first set of overhangs. Step over the overhang onto a large, slick foothold and move up a short slab to the base of a narrow corner. Follow the corner to a bulging wall above and exit right to a belay.
2) 4b, 10m. Move left and up to a football sized hold. Step left and pull onto a slab. Traverse left to a small tree and nut belays.
3) 4a, 20m. Finish up the wide rounded crack of Clarion's p2. © Rockfax
