Rockfax Description
A great route, although it often seeps on the crux, and is more like E5 when that is wet. A selection of trad gear and a lot of quickdraws are useful. Start by a large boulder below a line of weakness that goes the full height of the wall. Make difficult and polished moves to reach the first ledge, and follow the curving line of weakness up and right to another ledge at 12m. A step left, followed by an awkward pull up, leads to better holds. Then climb a crack to a pinnacle. From its top, move up and left into a niche, before it is possible to move back right to below a slanting V-groove capped by a roof. Move up into the V-groove, exiting it to the foot of a crack left of the small roof. Hard moves up this (crux) lead to good flat holds. Traverse left to an airy mantelshelf, then follow the ledges up and right to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: Cleaned 15/8/20. The upper section was becoming quite overgrown. A VERY loose spike followed by a loose block (both are unfortunately very useful jugs) halfway between the first and second bolt. You’d be close to the ground if they blew so consider placing gear between the bolts. | βeta? | |
