Rockfax Description
The most popular route at Barcud, and with good reason. Start just left of the recess and climb leftwards up flakes to a break below the headwall. The thin cracks above lead to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: A nice route that is fine at it's given grade - generally good holds if a bit stretchy between some of them, generally good gear if a bit spaced.

βeta: Great route, all the holds are positive, plenty of gear after a slightly comitting start. But even with an incoming tide, waves crashing below and the rock a bit damp it didn't feel any harder than HVS 5a

βeta: Rather unprotected in it's lower reaches, though the climbing at that point is 4c at most. Crux is well protected, and the line is delightful.
