Rockfax Description
A stunning line that culminates in the ascent of the bottomless corner high on the wall. Start at a short wall below a tree on a large ledge. Climb the wall to the ledge. Move up to a peg on the right, then back left and up to an overhanging square-cut niche. Take the crack and wall above to a niche in the break below the upper corner (thread). Enter the corner with difficulty and climb it to the top (pegs). © Rockfax

βeta: I did it ground up, so it must have been clean. I remember a rotting piece of troll rainbow sling on one of the pegs. Perhaps the safest E6 in the Lakes, done it most years since 2005. Total class. | βeta? | |
