Rockfax Description
Stylish and committing climbing requiring good technique and a set of strong fingers and biceps. Start just left of the cave, below a ledge at 3m.
1) 5b, 15m. Boulder to a ledge at 3m and move up the technical wall above it to a sloping hold and nut. Continue up the wall and through the narrowing groove to a stance on a prow under a steep crack.
2) 5a, 10m. Climb up the steep crack behind the belay and then traverse wildly rightwards using a conspicuous block around the arete to finish direct on good holds. © Rockfax
