Rockfax Description
100m. This direct line gives an excellent steep climb. Start 50m up and left from the end of the cliff base, at the foot of a prominent left-slanting chimney-fault.
1. 40m 4c Move out right to steep slabs, starting about 5m below a curious round niche. Climb up the wall above (a big groove is now 3m to the right). Go left and pull over a bulge into a hanging corner. Step left at a small roof, then go down left and traverse along a flake ledge to its end.
2. 25m 4b Above is a shallow cracked groove with a bulge. Climb the groove and exit right on to a ramp which ascends from a depression in the big groove to the right. Follow the ramp up left to its top.
3. 35m 5b Go up right to a vertical crack above a rock pedestal. Overcome the initial bulge and continue directly up the crack to slabs which lead to the top.
