Rockfax Description
A strenuous but well-protected route that tackles the crack and corner-line up the middle of the buttress. Start below the corner at a belay reached via a short scramble.
1) 5a, 17m. Climb the corner to a belay on the left.
2) 5c, 20m. Take the steep cracks in the wall to gain the next corner - strenuous - and follow this to a grassy ledge.
3) 25m. Climb the chimney and cracks to easy ground and belay.
Scrambling remains to the top of the buttress. © Rockfax

βeta: One of the useful jammed blocks in the crux section is loose, gave me a fright when I pulled on it. Be cautious as it would either fall onto you or straight on to the belay ledge | βeta? | |

βeta: Replaced the ab station at the top with good tat, a sling and a new million. Tested and didn’t fall to my death like Gandalf, so all good. | βeta? | |

βeta: The ab station at the top of P2 doesn’t look safe - very old tat and rusty metalware. Topping out is a much better bet… | βeta? | |
