Rockfax Description
A great route up the left arete of the crag. Abseil to a triangular niche over to the left (looking in) as you descend.
1) 4a, 20m. From the niche, traverse left across easy terrain to a square-cut groove, with a small ledge at its top. Climb up to a break and traverse left to the arete. Move up to a good stance.
2) 4b, 22m. Climb direct to gain a slab leading to a roof (optional belay). Make committing moves to enter a corner. Climb this, and the wall on the left, to a ledge and belay.
3) 4a, 35m. Climb the groove then go up right to a ledge on the arete. Move right and continue to another ledge (optional belay). Make an awkward move through a step. Trend right to the abseil. © Rockfax

βeta: Awesome position as soon as you ab off down. 40m abseil!? Great 1st pitch steady traverse, a move trickier to get to the 1st stance. Cock your right foot high to establish the start to chimney. Great positions & the birds were immense | βeta? | |
