Rockfax Description
The first section of the route is often dirty, but the upper section can be reached from Witch. Start just right of the Witch corner at some cracks below a wedged block at 15m. Climb to the block - often dirty. Continue to a pinnacle and move up into a corner above. Climb up another short corner to an overhang and move left to a ledge. Tricky moves right up the slab gain the top. © Rockfax
