Rockfax Description
Climb the slab left of the shallow groove then step left and make a fierce, fingery mantelshelf to better holds and an uphill finger-traverse to ledges. One more scary move remains. A super-technical left-hand start is around f7A+. © Rockfax
FA. Pete Livesey 1977.

βeta: How do most people finish this route? Do you traverse into LJ's at the top or do you do the direct finish as described in the old Froggatt guide? | βeta? |
