Rockfax Description
An interesting route making the most of this wall. Climb straight up the wall to a thread (as for Final Witness). Trend out right and climb the steepening wall above. Climb awkwardly up the groove to reach the roof, then scuttle left around this to easier rock. Exiting rightwards is harder (5a), and perhaps more in keeping with the lower pitch. © Rockfax

βeta: I'm pretty sure I didn't do the recommended 5a top in the Rockfax. I went right for a couple of metres, perhaps, after the 4c exit left and then went up an obvious groove to the left of a big thread block. Above was 6 metres of loose rock and turf which was awful. Perhaps better if you go further right, but I wouldn't chance it.
