UKC

35m, 2 pitches.

Rockfax Description
The highlight is the lovely roof on the first pitch.
1) 6a, 20m. Start as for Sweet SA. At 5m, traverse right out of the corner and cross the two-metre ceiling to an easier crack.
2) 5c, 20m. Pull over the roof on the right, then bypass another overhang on its right and finish up the wall above. © Rockfax

βeta: The sea lion bit felt bold but easy; I may have missed gear. Good gear to protect the crux (although tat looks old), which is pretty fierce, but it is all there once you launch. Will lead the top pitch of sea lion to avoid loose top pitch; unfortunately this was also a tottering pile of choss!

βeta: agree with dannyboy. very committing roof moves (you'd never reverse it) but there's lots of gear to prevent you hitting anything and all the holds you need are there - just have a good look from the bottom.

βeta: Awesome wild moves to gain both hands on the lip of the roof. Crap 2nd pitch though
