50m, 3 pitches.
Rockfax Description
A good line with a steep start giving some fine climbing in impressive territory. The upper section has suffered a rockfall and is still a bit unstable. Start below a roof-capped corner.
1) 5c, 15m. Climb up into the corner then force your way leftwards through the bulges (thread) to easier ground. Move up to the break to belay. A great steep pitch.
2) 5c, 35m. Climb a slim groove to the next break - possible belay on the right. Escape up the slab with care. © Rockfax

βeta: Looks like P3 has suffered rockfall. Still climbable but have to take care with seemingly loose blocks on the ledge (just above your belayer) and a few loose holds, thought generally what’s left is solid enough. The belay ledge at the end of P2 is still there but the only gear is too low for a belay on the ledge, so have to carry on to the top. | βeta? | |
