Rockfax Description
Go up the gully between the pinnacles. Climb the rib left of the arch until it is possible to step into the chimney. Bridge up this and through the eye-hole to emerge on the other side of the cliff. Use the tree here for descent, or continue to the top where there may be a sling for abseil. © Rockfax

βeta: There’s an improved abseil point around a large block forming the spine of the pinnacle slightly down (toward the river) from where this route tops out. It is there but one has to use one’s eyes. | βeta? | |

βeta: There wasn't any tat Insitu to ab off. I have left a 7mm sling on a slot very much at the top of the rock moving away from the river. No carabineer. This does leave some grass to negotiate. As others have said, the lower spike is possibly loose, although it's probably just some of the top. | ||

βeta: Had to leave sling and snap gate at top around a dubious block because insitu rope very old and stiff. | βeta? | |
