Rockfax Description
Take the flake to its end then finish direct. The route is low in the grade and has good gear most of the way but the finish feels bold and also a bit crusty. © Rockfax

FA. Malc Baxter (1 peg) 1959. FFA. Loz Francomb 1979.

βeta: Beware the crappy surface rock on the top of the route. My hand-hold just disintegrated as I was topping out and I fell off, stopping about 2/3rds of the way down the route.

βeta: I'd go with the comments about being harder than bring me sunshine, but there is good gear at the top.

βeta: This is considerably harder (and bolder) than Bring Me Sunshine - swap the grades and they would be about right. Where is the 'good gear' at the top if you go direct? - 15 feet of no gear at all, unless you escape to the right!
