Please refrain from climbing until the rock is properly dry - the sandstone becomes brittle after rain.
Dates: 25 June to 30 July
Reason: Nesting Birds

Rockfax Description
10m. The superb curving flake (a Manta look-a-like) leads leftwards with hard moves on sketchy footholds to pass the gap in the flake. All that remains is a tussle to gain the flutings (awkward to place runner) and a wild exit. High in the grade. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
The striking flake line to a harrowing top-out at the flutings.
Selected county classics- mainly E4/5 , Pathway to Triple 8 , 3* Extreme Northern Trad

βeta: Does the grade assume that you throw a hex into the top flutings from the ground, as suggested by the NMC guide? If so, the text ought to say so, otherwise it'll be a whole lot more strenuous to protect. Harder than The Rajah? | βeta? | |
