40m.

Rockfax Description
40m. Brilliant contrasting pitches, serious but low in the grade. Start below the slab as for The End.
1. 18m 5c Climb the slab direct to the overlap. Climb a very thin flake in the smooth rock above to snatch out right for tiny sharp holds leading right to the arĂȘte. Stand on a small ledge to climb the right side of the arĂȘte to the half-way ledge.
2. 22m 5b Down to the right is a right-facing tapering corner; climb this, step left and up over the lip of the steep wall onto the slab. Climb directly to a roof and pull over at a flake right of The End.
