Rockfax Description
A thin crack and shallow groove lead to the cave. Climb the right arete (small wires - tricky to place) then traverse the handrail out left (small cam), feet pedalling in the sand, to get established on the headwall with difficulty. Finish leftwards more easily. © Rockfax

βeta: Tom's right. They are Rock 6 and 7 I think, but not hard to place, so no need to head off with them clenched between your teeth!
