Rockfax Description
Climb the slabby lower wall trending right - bold - to the base of a groove (possible belay). Enter and climb the groove to a choice of finishes, direct is harder, stepping left onto the arete is more exposed - both are excellent. © Rockfax

LakesWinter	5 Jun, 2005	Show βeta βeta: Need to control the mind ray on the initial slab, there are runners right at the start but the flake is hollow and they won't help you on the crux shuffle round the bulge anyway. The top is superb and about severe	βeta?

shaun walby	24 Apr, 2005	Show βeta βeta: I climbed it in a single pitch taking the fine arete to finish... Tricky unprotected traverse to start then up and across onto a mighty fine arete in a great positon. Three stars from me when done as above.	βeta?

RobSimmo	7 May, 2004	Show βeta βeta: There is pro on the traverse, two small wires in a double sided flake, I fell off it and the gear held. I had to keep my legs up though and my backside was only inches from the ground!	βeta?

Horse	23 Aug, 2003	Show βeta βeta: Excellent route if a bit "off piste". Intial slab, quite bold but technically easy. Really the description should encourage the use of the arete as the preferred alternative. The groove is a lesser option and very out of character with the lower part of the route. Do it that way and it is a fine excursion.	βeta?

gooose	1 Jun, 2003	Show βeta βeta: Slab traverse is excellent, not at all hard but no gear. The arete at the top makes the route worth every star.	βeta?
