Rockfax Description
The easiest route up the cliff follows a good line, although it is a touch vegetated and there is some loose rock.
1) 4c, 20m. Follow the diagonal break leftwards (threads) until awkward moves past a bulge gain a good stance.
2) 4b, 12m. Climb the steep groove on the left (where the great man made his blunder) then move left again to easy ground and graze-a-way to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: Did P2, then reclimbed P1. Horrid experience. Very overgrown and loose, with a weirdly angled ramp making up the majority of the climbing, followed by a shaky traverse over grassy footholds. The stance is bombproof, but P2 continues the theme of steepness and grass, honestly horrid, unless you like being gripped | βeta? | |
