Rockfax Description
100m. 1. 30m 5b Climb the slabby wall to the right of the bay diagonally up leftwards towards a short fat flake and junction with The Silk Route. Follow The Silk Route into the shallow groove and spike on the right. Exit the horizontal break above rightwards for a metre until possible to pull up and right to a nut belay in a small niche, above the apex of the triangular roof.
2. 40m 5b Climb direct out of the niche to small ledges. Climb boldly via small flakes to the left end of an overlap. Pull over and gain a jug in a further, larger overlap above. Pull over this to under a distinctive jutting prow of rock and climb round its right side to a small ledge on its top. Surmount the roofs above on huge flakes in a wild position to gain the vertical wall above (the flakes to the left are on The Silk Route and the quartz groove of The Silkie is 8m to the right). Climb the wall to belay on a yellow ledge.
3. 30m 5a The steep juggy wall to the top.
