Rockfax Description
The superb curving corner is polished but remains a wonderful climb. For the full 3-star experience you must finish up the final groove above the first lower-off reached.

βeta: So polished! Felt like I should of brought ice skates rather than rock boots.

βeta: bag of rubbish-its a polished horror show. really didnt enjoy it one bit. perhaps we'd been spoiled by the routes we did at malham the day before, but i really thought this wasnt much fun. do yourself a favour and drive down the road to some grit. or malham.

βeta: Now has a double bolt belay at the top of the groove underneath the roof which means u dont have to traverse right (unless u really want to) Also there is a good left hand variation finish from the lower belay at 7A+ although it is tempting to grab rather than clip the belay.
