Rockfax Description
A lesser-known Chee Tor gem which gives fine sustained moves but is close to E4. Climb the wall to a rest on the left. Make hard moves up and right, past a wafer-thin flake, into a groove. Climb this then keep going up left until one final hard pull gains the break. © Rockfax

βeta: Peg can be backed up with a hard-to-place wire near the peg, or easy-to-place wires lower at the top of the groove. Low 6c as a sport route. | ||

βeta: Cleaned up although it wasn't in a bad state. The peg is now another 20 years older than Shark's report in 2005 but actually still looks and feels pretty solid. | ||

βeta: Just remembered, John (Fleming) did this with a rest on the peg (although he can't recall it!). First free ascent was a few days after by Duncan Critchly I think, then me. | βeta? | |
