Rockfax Description
A tricky route with only just enough gear in the lower reaches. Start left of a slim groove that leads up to a small roof at 12m. Climb the slim groove direct or, safer, climb the easier line to the left and step back right into the groove at about 6m. Turn the roof to gain a series of ledges leading up to Rufus. Move up left to a tower and swing left to climb a crack. Above the tower further balancy climbing is required to get to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: E1 5a if the easiest line is followed starting on the left and circumventing the blank looking crack section below the tower by swinging left a bit onto the cracked arete then moving back to the tower. The line going up through the middle of the face looked 5c, unclimbed and dirty and the guidebook we were using didn't really help.
