Rockfax Description
A real classic and rite of passage which is hard work but well protected. Climb the short arete to runners, then lean out (large wire in the flake) and layback onto the flake. About face, and finish briskly. A traverse of the lip rightwards is the neglected Cockchafer, E5 6b. © Rockfax

FA. John Allen 1976.
