Rockfax Description
The main arete gives good, well-positioned climbing. Strictly speaking the crack should be avoided by climbing the arete - a bit contrived but slightly better climbing. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Can be climbed "a cheval" with no use of the crack to the right.

βeta: Both variations are worthwhile. The crak offering big moves on huge jugs. The arete has 4 times the holds and better clipping positions but requires a bit more technique. Both seem about 6a. | βeta? | |

βeta: Varied and worth the star if you use the crack (Knight Rider?) but not if you take the arete direct | βeta? | |

βeta: There appears to be much confusion about the actual route here. Personally I went for that right hand crack , and I considered that to be plenty tough enough. | βeta? | |

βeta: Surely not, there are holds on the edge of the arete that you could use of course! 6a, reasonable climbing at its grade | βeta? | |

βeta: Avoiding the crack on the right (as mentioned in the guide) requires discipline and blinkers and is far harder than 6a. | βeta? | |

βeta: Not a good route, very unsatisfying somehow. Fiend is right, the rock crystals are the best bit about it. | βeta? | |
