Rockfax Description
Immaculate and intricate face climbing up the pockets and grey wall left of the black bulges in the middle of the wall. Start on a ledge at the base of the wall beneath the black bulges. Climb the left-hand crack system to ledges below the black bulges. Move left to the pocket line and climb up past a thread to a peg on the left wall. Make technical moves left, up and back right to the pocket line and continue to a horizontal break. Move left and finish up the line of pockets as for Baby Duck/Beginnings. © Rockfax

βeta: There's a nest in the highest hole*, with 3 large pigeon chicks in it. They're quite far back in the hole, but maybe best to avoid the route for a week or two until they've fledged. (*after you return back to the groove from the crux face climbing) | βeta? | |
