Rockfax Description
A brilliant route which takes you to places other HVS routes don't reach. The location is intimidating and you need a confident second. From the base of the corner, climb a steep crack above on the left wall - usually a bit slippery, sometimes very wet. Pull over the bulge and squirm out onto the hanging slab. Tiptoe delicately right until you can climb round the roof on its right-hand side. Wander easily to the top from here. © Rockfax

βeta: One of the best HVSs anywhere. Great rock, wild position and good gear. Started at high tide from ledges adjacent to the interesting bit. | βeta? | |

βeta: Excellent climbing on the slab, shame it ended. A bit of a spicy, damp grovel to get to it though! Let down by the finish, but still three stars with amazing positions. | βeta? | |

βeta: Always climb it in the afternoon after the sun has been on it, ideally with a westerly wind to dry the whole route. As the description says a competent, confident second is essential. If they fell off on the traverse, they would probably need to prussic out. | βeta? | |

βeta: Could be a good route but it was soaking wet from seepage and it hasn’t rained in weeks. If it’s wet now, I’m not sure when it’ll be dry. | βeta? | |
