Rockfax Description
Unusual climbing that follows a left-trending line of overhangs across the upper reaches of 'B' Buttress. Start at a slab and wide corner-crack close to the top of Easy Terrace.
1) 5b, 36m. Climb the slab and crack before making a steep pull out left to get established below the line of overhangs. Follow the line below the overhangs - sustained - all the way to a belay on Giant's Crawl.
2) 5c, 28m. Starting below an overhang, follow a left-trending line across the wall to a grassy ledge (possible belay). Move out right and break through the overhangs with difficulty before some cracks lead slightly right to the top. © Rockfax
