A stunning, flared and slightly off-width crack. On the upper tier of the upper tor this crack faces down into Glen Avon begging to be climbed! A steep, hard start allows entry into the more amenable angle above. Deploy a range of udging manoeuvres to sustain upward progress. At its top move left along the ledge and make a committing move onto the slab above. Might be grit HVS, but a gritstone climber wouldn't manage the approach. Certainly no harder than 5.9. Large cams useful. Graded by crack climbing incompetents.
