Rockfax Description
The elegant scoops in the right-hand side of the wall succumb to technical bridging. Feels bold but gives superb climbing. © Rockfax

βeta: A gem of a route with hard won (but good) protection low down; things ease with height. There is a belay / lower-off a little below the ridge line, so you can avoid having to tackle the very vegetated ground to the summit. | βeta? | |

βeta: Failed to do this - seemed a very dodgy proposition protection-wise. Very hard/reachy to place blind wire to protect first moves into scoop, then very pumpy finding and placing enough disappointing RPs for the next bit - too pumpy for me, had to down-aid. Not fun despite it's relatively appealing look. | ||
