Rockfax Description
The right arete of the big face is E1 in old money (aka "Yorkshire VS" and might still feel that way even with pads as the landing isn't level. An Earl rite of passage. Escape off right at the break if bouldering. © Rockfax

βeta: Brilliant arete. Bold start, and the crux can be made much harder by sticking vehemently to the arete, but all in all very enjoyable. You will still want to take a single piece of gear for the break, if only for pyschological reasurance! | βeta? | |
