UKC

Rockfax Description
25m. An excellent sustained pitch with barely adequate protection. Start below and right of the biggest quartz patch. Ascend left up a handrail, then move right on quartz to reach a spike. Stand on the spike and climb the wall above to a small niche. Or if wet, as it often is, go slightly right and back left to the niche. Move left from the niche through the top of the wet streak (crux), then up through a horizontal quartz band and back right above to finish above the niche.
