Rockfax Description
50m. A wandering but interesting route finding the easiest way up this section of crag. The first climb to be recorded at Craig a Barns. Start at the obvious projecting rib bounding the right side of the slabs.
1. 20m Climb the rib to a ledge, poorly protected. Move left into a short corner and go up to a tree, then move back out right to a long rock ledge and an angular flake.
2. 30m Make a long rightwards traverse on disjointed ledges until below a slab. Climb this diagonally left to gain a grassy bay. Finish up the grooved slabby rib on the right.
Variation: Direct Finish VS 4b *
From the grassy bay climb the brown shallow scoop in the top right-hand side of the headwall. © Rockfax
