Rockfax Description
A majestic slab route with extremely sustained and fingery climbing. Start at the first crack right of Kitten Claws. Climb this to join Billy Spragg, then step right to follow the continuation crack and then directly up the wall above.

βeta: Excellent route taking the full height of the wall. A fair bit of good gear (plus a fair bit of not-so-good gear) and some thank god holds to aim for.
