Rockfax Description
Exposed and atmospheric climbing that finishes with a breathtaking stride over the top of a zawn. At the far east end of Flake Ledge is a narrow zawn that has a wide corner-crack in its west wall, start here. Climb the awkward corner to a roof and step right to below a crack. Climb the crack with difficulty to another overhang and move right to above the zawn. Bridge out right and pull up to easier ground that leads to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: Loose right block after step over Zawn, don't make mistake of placing gear in crack left of block as won't hold fall. Block can be pulled on if care is taken!
