Rockfax Description
40m. ( page 161) The crag classic, strenuous and very exposed. Start below the overhanging crack in the steep central wall. Climb the pod (or its left edge) and crack to a niche. Continue up the crack past an overhang and optional belay common with Warfarin. Continue to a corner under the roof. Traverse hard under the roof rightwards for 3m and pull spectacularly left through the roof on large flat holds. Continue directly to the top.

βeta: Copying my logbook comment from 2014, having heard about the same happening again recently to Duncan: Had the same excitement as gforce with untying a stuck rope above the roof (and nothing on the other rope since the intermediate belay). I'd say watch out for that, but I'm not sure what exactly it is you need to watch for. | ||
