Rockfax Description
Spectacular climbing up the blank looking left-hand wall of the amphitheatre. Start at a belay on a small and very slick waterworn ledge.
1) 4c, 24m. Move left along the diagonal break and then climb up a crack-line in the slab above to the headwall. Take a narrow ramp left across the headwall and move up and round the arete to a belay.
2) 20m. Climb the stepped arete to the top. © Rockfax
