Rockfax Description
Pleasing technical moves that can be well-protected. Start to the right of the Withy Crack belay at a small cave entrance. Move up to below a small overhang and pull out left onto the slab. Head up past three saplings to the headwall and take a left-leading thin crack to join and finish as for Withy Crack. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
A good climb, which is still clinging on to its E1 status, although absolutely at the bottom end. Start at the cave entrance 10m right of the Withy Crack belay. Move up and step left; then gain the slab. Climb the slab to the third of 3 saplings, where the wall steepens. Move leftwards up a thin crack to gain pockets. Nice technical moves on the wall above lead to the exit of Withy Crack.

βeta: Lovely route, definitely soft at E1. Massive thanks and kudos to whoever cut back all the undergrowth on the ledge in the last 2 weeks. It\'s a much nicer place to be now! | βeta? | |
