Rockfax Description
This is probably the most popular route in the Leap, it starts at the big flake/groove left of the smooth black wall. Step right from the top of the flake and pull over a bulge. Follow a line of holds up rightwards to a roof. Step back left and make a l-o-n-g pull over this to reach good holds above. Shorties may want to use the two alternative sequences which don't need a reach. Follow the wall above with care, keeping slightly right. © Rockfax

βeta: Cool route with nice rock and a generally relaxed feel - apart from the crux which is bloody hard whether it's the huge reach or the obvious alternative. Start goes easily even when damp. | ||

βeta: Depends how tall you are! It's pretty reachy, above your gear and not just once, there are two bulges to contend with. Good fun though, a great first route in the leap. | βeta? | |

βeta: This felt like a soft touch E2 for me - I've done harder and more dangerous HVS routes. Even comparing with other routes in the leap, such as Quiet Waters Direct, the E2 grade seems odd. | βeta? | |

βeta: Lovely route - really enjoyable. Steady all the way - and it is quite a looong reach. | βeta? | |
