Rockfax Description
The long flake-crack is a good route. Climb the lower wall as for Driven Like the Snow until below the flake-crack. Climb the accommodating crack to a tricky bulge at its end. Finish up a perplexing groove in the headwall. © Rockfax

βeta: An enjoyable flowing longish route with the difficulty arising on the slabby top. A bit low in in the grade. | βeta? | |

βeta: Agree 100% with Al Evans - would be a 2* 6a+ were it not for the sting in the tail, which makes it rather unbalanced. Good move at the top though. | βeta? | |

βeta: Top move isnt so bad when you go for it, but I guess it is just a bit of a shock when you have been hauling up a juggy layback for 15m, and I spent about 10 mins contemplating the move. Didnt occur to me to try and clip the belay from the small holds when there was a juggy looking top only a reach away. | βeta? | |

βeta: well i like it its the sort of route which makes a great warm up, you get 20m of 6a then when your getting into your stride you have to do a nice littl 5c/6a move to ge the tick, and all on good rock, what s the problem | βeta? | |

βeta: If you want your partner to offer you lots of sexual favours,lead the route first and then put a long sling on the belay to take the sting out of the crux. | βeta? | |

βeta: The move described by Ben sounds rather familiar. The hardest move by far is clipping the belay. I didn't do the "extended tick"; I doubt many people do. | βeta? | |

βeta: The top felt English 6a to me. The route is a bit disjointed, the rest is much easier. | βeta? | |
