Rockfax Description
105m. A fine exposed route following the arête to the right of The Dagger. It dries very quickly after rain. Start by a clean-cut, right-facing corner directly below the right bounding rib of The Dagger.
1. 20m 4c Climb the corner, then move left to a stance left of the foot of The Dagger corner.
2. 35m 4c Climb a finger crack, then further cracks near the arête to the huge spike at the top of The Dagger.
3. 50m 4b Move right, descend a little and pull out right to an edge. A series of cracks and blocks reach the terrace at its highest point.

βeta: What a line and what a setting! Great rock quality and exceptional cracks. The anchor at the end of pitch 2 is obvious as it had 2 pieces of tat around the block (at the time of this comment). Pitch 1 & 2 probably deserve 4 stars, pitch 3 probably around 2 stars. It’s at least a 3 star, probably 4 star route. People need to get on this! | βeta? | |

βeta: We left a carabiner on the abseil from the dagger as the mailion is really a bit small for both tat and ab rope to both pass through without risking abrasion of the tat. Please be kind to other climbers and don't steal it. | βeta? | |
