Rockfax Description
Move up over the initial bulge via a thin flake and continue to a roof-capped niche. Pull up right and then back left over the overhang to gain an easier finish. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
The original description is better and the grade UKC is incorrect. 7a+ is better - Gain the obvious thin flake at the left side of the wall. head up to the break then, stepping right again to below the final overhang. Go up to the right side of this and pull through it and leftwards to good holds and the belay.

βeta: There doesn't seem any point moving right from the niche, as that then entails an entirely artifical fight back left, when there are perfectly reasonable sets of features moving up from the left side of the niche. | ||

βeta: The second last bolt could do with being a meter to the left. Not sure what it’s doing over there. Ended up skipping the last bolt as it was proportionally very far left compared to the second last. | βeta? | |
