Rockfax Description
A tremendous pitch which requires careful rope work. It is only E6 if the good peg on Stairway to Heaven is clipped. Follow Barracuda to the bush in the main break (peg above). Traverse 2m right and make one move up before continuing the traverse to a small corner - small cam in a flake and good peg on Stairway to Heaven to the right. Crux moves up rightwards end at a break and a move right into another small corner. Take the wall on right to finish. Lower-off. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
The original and true start is up Central Wall to the bush at the break creating a true line trending right and up the whole wall. Not an access point of least resistance for rope drag. Also Barracuda didn't exist at that time!
FA. Pete Gomersall, Duncan Drake 1980. Pete Gomersall puts up one of the UK?s first E7s, rejecting the use of bolts and in-keeping with the tradition of the approach to free climbing on this wall. 19/Sep/1980.

βeta: The good hold in the groove that also serves as the gear placement before the run out has broken! (21/08/24) The hold is still good so the climbing has not really been effected but the placement has gone! so it is now a bolder proposition E7! It’s had 2 ascents since the break but I do have the hold if people think it needs repairing! | βeta? | |
