Rockfax Description
An amenable classic taking a good line up the smooth-looking wall on the right-hand side of the cliff. Scramble up grubby ledges to a fat peg belay below the wall. Follow the diagonal break that runs leftwards across the wall, passing between some much blanker terrain. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Currently (Feb 2025) the only viable approach is via Nocturne and across to the Pocket Symphony belay, from there a fixed rope (bolts) takes you to the large peg marks the start of the route next to one of the bolts. A significant amount of gardening has taken place which should make the route much more pleasant. Please try to pull out any new growth of grass or this climb will become seriously overgrown again.

βeta: The scramble from the base of the chimney is worth roping up for especially if it is at all wet. I found the route nice but lots of the pockets were full of water/sludge | βeta? | |

βeta: Not sure how a dirty, grassy route gets 3 stars, worth doing if you are bored, with some 4c moves thrown in. | βeta? | |
