Rockfax Description
12m. The right arete of the upper wall gives a fine pitch which is low in the grade - for the strong. Climb straight through the lower roofs to a cramped rest, then head slightly rightwards, linking mostly good holds, by powerful climbing and long reaches. There is enough gear for those who can hang on and place it. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Safe roof climbing with one reasonable reach and lots of good gear. Fun.

βeta: This is E4 6a in the Northumberland definitive guide. Think it's a bit of a typo that Rockfax/UKC says its low in the grade for E3 - it is safe as houses but not a soft E3, and definitely not 5c unless you're very lanky. | βeta? | |
