Rockfax Description
45m. The route climbs a prominent left-slanting crack high on the right side of the smooth overhanging wall. Start mid-way between the wet seep in the lower wall and a tall thin left-facing corner further right (Chela).
1. 25m 6b Climb through the overlap above, then move across left to follow a steep flake-line leading to the halfway ledge (bold). Struggle up the crack above to a belay perched on the edge of the leaning wall.
2. 20m 5b Continue up the crack leftwards until a groove can be followed to easier ground which leads to the top.
