Rockfax Description
The easiest line hereabouts and a logical continuation to Tennis Shoe which finishes 50m to the left. Start from the large ledges at the top of the slab routes.
1) 4a, 12m. Traverse up and right into the deep gully. Three mini-mantels up the gully lead to a stance where it widens.
2) 4a, 28m. Traverse left along sloping ledges towards a jutting nose of rock. Climb past a V-groove to reach the faint groove to its left, just right of the nose. Follow this to the ledge. © Rockfax

βeta: Loose flake after the first pitch, just before you start climbing vertically. It’s about 3-4 foot long. | βeta? | |

βeta: A really fun route which can probably be climbed in most conditions so long as not super duper windy. Its possible to move right about half way up the crux groove. Otherwise a few moves become very exposed, but never hard. The rock is nice and sound. | ||

βeta: Loose hold halfway P2, easily supplemented by the slightly crimpier hold next to it. Otherwise great climb! | βeta? | |

βeta: Two loose flakes on second pitch. Luckily they wobble before you fully commit to them so shouldn’t cause too much bother. | βeta? | |

βeta: The first pitch has a good variation: instead of proceeding right into the gully go straight up following a short crack, exiting at the beginning of the traverse left to the belay. Only slighlty harder. | ||
