Rockfax Description
30m. A line up the centre of the wall to the left of the ivy provides a fine sustained pitch with spaced runners. Start at a left-slanting groove 10m right of the wet seeping chimney. Ascend the groove and continue up a bulging wall to an easing. Go up left to a ledge. Above needs some careful route finding; go up, then right and back left to finish direct up a crack-line to gain the terrace.

βeta: Pretty grim top out on dusty steep grass, and no tree to belay from. Good rock belay above though, and new chains and maillon around a tree 5m to (climbers) left.
