Rockfax Description
A gnarly first pitch leads to fine and varied climbing on the east face of the buttress.
1) 5c, 12m. Start as for the last route then climb a thin crack with difficulty to a large ledge on the seaward face.
2) 5b, 15m. Traverse around the corner to a groove leading to the faultline. Traverse right again to a second groove which leads onto a ledge. Belay in the corner.
3) 5b, 15m. Step left out onto the wall where a lovely flake system leads to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: Good route, with an excellent and sustained first pitch shame it’s only 10m long! Possibly a bit soft for e3, I thought the first pitch was pretty tricky but then I don’t often climb at this grade. | βeta? | |
