Rockfax Description
A sustained line that lives up to its billing. Start as for Sky. Climb the arete to a ledge and then head up right to the rib at an overhang. Climb the rib with difficulty until moves left reach the flake-crack of Sky. Hand traverse out along the lip of the roof to the right and, at a small flake, pull over and move up to reach the traverse of Sky. Finish direct up the headwall. © Rockfax

βeta: I re-bolted this like for like with Tim 05/2022 still a decent run out between the last two bolts but relatively easy climbing with a slightly awkward rock over to get the final clip (long sling if you want to cheat & abb down it....) finish directly to the ledge then step right. | βeta? | |

βeta: Bolts, though substantial, are on poor condition. Original finish as marked in FRCC guide has become vegetated. Alternative but tougher finish on right is possible. | ||
