Rockfax Description
80m. A classic route with fine situations and generally good protection. Start just up left from the left corner of the buttress, at a ramp with a 5m flake lying on it.
1. 25m 4b Climb the flake (right side is easier) and ramp to a ledge at the foot of the long diagonal crack.
2. 30m 4c Climb the crack to a belay at the large pine tree.
3. 25m 5a Follow a shallow groove on the right side to cross the bulge (crux), then continue more easily trending slightly right up the wall above.

βeta: P2 - Coming up to the right of the belay tree is probably easiest to get up and set belay anchor. 2 decent bits of tat for anchor with mallon through both for abseil as of 16/09/2023. | βeta? | |
