Rockfax Description
From the tree on the ground, walk left across grass ledges to a flake. Climb this then go left to the groove above. Move up cracks then step back rightwards to gain a grassy ramp leading to a delightful stance. Abseil from here. If you want the summit experience then spiral around the back to the top. Descent is awkward - the best option is to reverse back to the lower stance. © Rockfax

βeta: Pleasant although it is better to miss out on the summit experience which is just awkward, especially now the tree is dead. The belay above Whacko is a lovely spot. | βeta? | |
