Rockfax Description
This magnificent Pembrokeshire classic should have a place on everyone's tick list. Arguments over its grade will continue for ever so consider it hard E3 or easy E4. Start 10m left of the end of the wall. Climb a series of cracks and bulges, with a hard move at 6m, to reach a rest below a big curving overlap. Pull out left and try and get your right hand in a slot which your left hand is in. Climb up and back right to reach the wide finishing flake/groove. © Rockfax

βeta: Currently a stuck no. six nut low down (not us). I had a good go at getting it out to no avail - if anyone can be bothered bringing a hammer down with them you'd be doing a public service (hammered out using a nutkey should work) before it gets rusted Insitu! | βeta? | |

βeta: Felt like the living end. Definitely one to avoid in slimy conditions. I climbed it in the early 90s and found it very reasonable at the time. Fast forward nearly 30 years and I was alarmed when one particular foothold gleamed with a high gloss shine. Lay down at the top feeling completely wasted, before marshalling wilted arms as a winch operator. Lol! | βeta? | |

βeta: Superb, amazing etc. I'm still buzzing after doing it on Sunday. Only really two hard moves, but plenty of other pumpy ones in between and above. The excellent rest half way up helps a lot - two E3's on top of each other? As everyone says - "E3 before you do it, E4 aferwards!" Harder than all the Pembroke E3's I've done. Go do it! | βeta? | |
