Rockfax Description
The original line up this bit of wall which is slightly spoilt by the crux move being much harder than the rest.
1) 6b, 25m. Climb the triangular niche and the crack above it. From here either move left and up to the pegs, or climb the flake on the right - both 5b. Make a desperate series of moves up and left into a scoop. Step left again to another scoop to belay.
2) 5c, 20m. Step up and clip a thread than move back down and traverse left in an impressive position to reach another runnel. Follow this direct to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: The entire column up which this climbs is hollow and absolutely does not inspire any confidence in the gear for the crux which is placed entirely behind it. It\'ll come off one day. Pegs are completely fubarred. | βeta? | |

βeta: Peg is no good now. Definitely E5 - I thought even the start was pretty bold. Some tricky moves to get to the first gear. The protection for the crux is behind suspect rock too. | βeta? | |

βeta: Crux not to bad f you take the time to study holds from the ledge. IMHO peg should go, bomber nut right and slightly up before you embark on the crux | ||
