Rockfax Description
A good pitch. Start at a left slanting break. Move up the break and climb the cracked front face of the pillar. Step right at the top into an open groove and climb it to an overhang. Pass the overhang on its right-hand side and then step back left and follow easier rock to the top.
Descent - walk off to the left (facing out). © Rockfax

βeta: Inconsistency between guidebooks (RockFax vs CC) but it's not two pitches to the belay above the groove and overhang. Above this you could continue climbing but it's more of a scramble. | βeta? | |

βeta: Worth remembering to place some gear at top of rib to protect second on first pitch. | ||

βeta: As Andy described. We started to the left of the line with a tricky move to get on the rock. We continued up into the orange stained scoop which was sopping wet with poor pro until you was below a face with a weakness running upon the rhs. A bomber nut placement 5/6 is all there is low down. Initial move was followed by scarce finger holds (made worse with numb, cold tips) topped out (just as had that “I’m off feeling “) with much relief Diff my arse ???? | βeta? | |

βeta: Spaced gear and route is not obvious due to cc guidebook inconsistency. Nice though. And dry. | βeta? | |
