Rockfax Description
A very good and direct line. Gain the ledge and climb the broad rib above to a niche at 12m. Climb the niche then step left round a blunt rib to a ledge. Fight up the short corner right of a bulge to follow a groove to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: Rockfax description is wrong, or at least misleading! The route steps right out of the niche as other users have mentioned.

βeta: A rewrite of the Rockfax description might be: "A zig-zagged line with an adventurous feel. Gain the vegetated terrace and climb the broad rib to its right, trending right until a large alcove. Step delicately left over a bulge then head straight for the top, leaving the overhang just to the left."

βeta: Agree that rockfax have fluffed the topo and description of this route. Have to make it up. Worthwhile route though, despite broken rock appearance.

βeta: Rockfax Topo and description no very good. Logical line climbs up the back of the niche before stepping left round the rib. That's where the gear is anyway
