Rockfax Description
Classy. Climb the crack to its top then traverse left past the arete, where a crack and short wall lead to an escape out right. Double ropes are sensible. © Rockfax

βeta: Wonderfull route, but draining. Or perhaps I'm just not fit. Can't agree about the direct though. While it seems more obvious and logical, the traditional line is simply spectacular. This route has it all. | βeta? | |

βeta: Lovely climb, do take the direct though and try to stay cool on the final traverse. There's always just enough holds, and what a situation! | βeta? | |

βeta: Great route. Direct start seems more logical and more appealing. Sustained and slightly overhanging - didn't find the hands-free rest so was getting a bit pumped - but the gear is good. Bit reachy in the middle ? | βeta? | |

βeta: Fantastic route. The direct version seems the logical line - not sure why you'd want to go indirect. | βeta? | |
