Rockfax Description
50m. Juggy and exciting climbing; pitch 1 is less technical but more serious than Inbred and pitch 2 offers sustained fingery climbing. The walls are rather lichenous but the holds are clean. Start as for Inbred.
1. 25m 5a Ascend the initial bulge on Inbred, then follow a right-slanting crack to a ledge. Go up a short crack to a long narrow ledge, then over the bulge above to the belay on Inbred.
2. 25m 5a Move diagonally up right to gain a left-slanting crack. Follow this to a small overhang, then traverse left to another crack which leads to a ledge (belay) and an abseil thread 6m to the left.
