Rockfax Description
A slippery classic. Start below the steep arete and climb up and right to a good ledge. Use the deep horizontal crack to aid a shuffling traverse out to the left to gain the final easier slab. © Rockfax

βeta: Brilliant route hadn't done it for years, and it was fantastic redoing it. Medium cams protect the crux moves low down and on the traverse. Easy top out. Take some extra big cams for the belay. | βeta? | |

βeta: I think if you were pushing your grade on this route it would be amazing. If it is well within your ability it is good but a bit of a one move wonder. | βeta? | |
