Rockfax Description
The delicate slabby arete, or the face just left, leads to a ledge. Access the flake and a dramatic finish that will find you swinging by the gargoyles. Variations are inferior. Photographed a thousand times, almost aways from the cliff top to the right with the reservoir in the background. © Rockfax
