Rockfax Description
Brilliant wall climbing on good rock. Start at a boulder below a wide horizontal crack at 3m. From the wide crack move onto the wall above via a pocket up and right. Follow the wall on good holds to the wide mid-height break of The Smile. Traverse the wide break left for 5m until a couple of metres before the broken niche on The Smile. Move up slightly right and climb the fingery wall that gradually eases to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: ‘Good rest in the break’ can extend to a full hands off knee-bar for those longish in the leg - very useful before questing the headwall | ||

βeta: It is a BIT bold at the start - you're quite close to the boulders. Another classic Sharpnose wall climb, made amenable by the good rest in the break. Getting to and past the peg requires some gusto, the finish is very nice. | βeta? | |

βeta: This route is NOT bold at the start. All you have to do is place a small friend diagonally in the diagonal finger buckets and it is safe. Quite a soft touch for E3 IMO. | βeta? | |
