Rockfax Description
A great route with a burly and traditional first pitch. Start beneath the wide crack just left of the arete.
1) 5a, 20m. Climb the crack, which is strenuous but requires very little jamming, to a move right onto a ledge.
2) 5b, 25m. Head right and into the steep groove. Climb this until you can move left and onto the arete. Finish up this to an easing just before the top. © Rockfax

βeta: P2 is described incorrectly above. From the ledge go up to the short, open groove above. (The obvious steep & continuous groove of Merchant Man P2 lies to the right.) Then boldly climb the clean wall above, to the left of the fin, on small positive holds to reach flakes & wide cracks that lead to the grassy slope. E1 5a? | βeta? | |
