Rockfax Description
Good slab climbing but run-out. Begin just right of the runnels of Minute Waltz. Move up into a shallow niche and then progress up the slab above, slightly rightwards, to a ledge. From its left end make some committing moves to a runnel up on the left and finish up it and the grassy slab above. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Quite bold and insecure in places: high in the grade. Start at the lowest point of the right-hand slab of the glacis. Climb straight up past the blast pocket and trend slightly right up the slab above (thin) to reach a ledge and sapling. From the left end of the ledge, make bold moves up and left to gain a shallow runnel, which is followed to the top of the slab. Go up grassy ledges to a lower-off.

βeta: The small sapling on the ledge is now gone. Better holds have been unearthed from beneath the grass to aid now the trees gone and a good nut slot is easy to find and place at the left extremity of the ledge. | βeta? | |
