Rockfax Description
A testpiece up the blank face with vicious and difficult-to-protect moves. Start below the middle section of Suspension Flake. Move up to a wide horizontal break. Make hard moves up to a small flake and difficult gear. A long move rightwards gains a shallow groove and the finish of Suspension Flake just above. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Javu P2, Climbers Club Dartmoor (2017) P10.

Beneath Suspension Flake is a blank looking wall. Gain the central flake/sidepull via a long stretch from a fairly poor undercut on the left (gear - smallish wire), then move right to climb a groove to finish. The crux is the move to the flake although the top is still a bit tricky and could be dangerous. Has been soloed (onsight!).

Hard for the grade, 6b/c.
