Rockfax Description
Start at a clean rib that cuts up through the vegetation.
1) 4a, 33m. Climb the rib to vegetated ground that leads to a belay below the wall (directly under the Gargoyle).
2) 5a, 38m. Take a line leftwards to a large spike then go right to a sloping ledge. Climb a steep crack to an easing on the left after 5m before moving left again and up to below the Gargoyle. Finish up a crack on its left. © Rockfax

βeta: The first pitch - the means to access all these routes - is considerably longer than 33m (as shown here), or even 42m as given in the FRCC guide - I ran out of rope with 50m ropes.
