UKC

Rockfax Description
Exquisite hard moves on great rock. Start at a bolted belay above the first crack of Big Dipper reached by abseil. Move out left (bolt) to get established in a flared groove and make very thin moves up it (bolt) to a good hold. Head up leftwards to a flake (bolt), then up rightwards (bolt) to an easing under the final wall - junction with Mirrormere. A final hard sequence to gain a small groove (bolt) leads to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: The shiny bolts are the only protection, and protect the hard bits well. There is a big run-out on the easy middle section, and a bit of spice at the end. Its too bold to be a standard sport route- but if you can get past the second bolt there is no way you will fall off the bold/easy bits.
