Rockfax Description
A surprisingly pumpy route up the parallel cracks in the smooth wall. Best laybacked rapidly to jugs and a tricky shelving exit. © Rockfax

βeta: Beware - On the first half of the route, the long section of rock between the two thins cracks (where all your gear goes!) moves about 2mm from side to side. It's not obvious until you load the gear. Sounds like, from an earlier comment, that someone has already decked out due to gear pulling through in the expanding cracks. | βeta? | |

βeta: I don't think I have ever been so pumped on a route and still gotten up it, despite the 'rest'. There is real moment of truth, bail out or go, after the first couple of layback moves. The topout is exciting! | βeta? | |

βeta: Backed off this before I even got properly started :( The central 'flake' between the 2 thin cracks moves enough for apparently good gear to just pull out - not nice. | ||
