Rockfax Description
The wall to the right of the arete, joining the arete and becoming slabby at the top. Originally given a route grade of E4/5 and soloed without mats. It is now possible to sort of highball this with a few pads, although the top is still a bit heart-in-mouth! © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Climbers Club Dartmoor (2017) P2.

E4 6a. Start on obvious jug lump on downhill face, climb the wall on reasonable holds then make the committing step up onto the arete above. The slab up right is the crux but the top arete can also be climbed with more use of the left side slab at the same grade.

Simon Young 27/Mar/1999.
