Rockfax Description
A fine route tucked away over on the right-hand side of the main crag. Start at a long rib right of the descent gully.
1) 12m. Follow the rib until moves left gain a block belay.
2) 12m. Climb up to the slim overhang and traverse left to a ledge and belay.
3) 10m. Take a crack and wall to the rib on the right and climb it in a nice position to a stance and belay at its top.
4) 18m. From an unstable flake, climb slabs and short walls to easy ground. Walk off to the left (looking out). © Rockfax

βeta: Keep going up on Pitch 4 past a juggy mantle - big ledge that has easy sling anchors and a gentle walk off to the right next to East Raven Crag | βeta? | |

βeta: Really nice climb. Some lazy sod has added an abseil station at the top of pitch 3 which is a shame as pitch 4 is well worth doing and the walk off via East Raven is straightforward. | βeta? | |

βeta: Matthew's first day trad leading. Abbed off excellent sling and maillon before top pitch - 30m just! | βeta? | |

βeta: The walk off the route after the final pitch was sketch as f**k. Steep, exposed and loose despite what the guide says to walk off left to the main abseil point. Best bet is to ab off after the 3rd pitch which is the most exciting. The 4th isn’t worth the hassle if you ask me. Good route though. Unique! | βeta? | |

βeta: Description of start of P2 is misleading. The 'obvious' line straight up is hard and positively dangerous for S; climb round to the left then up the block, and there's good protection to see you on your way. Done this way it's a classic S pitch! | βeta? | |

βeta: Good route this - interest in first 3 pitches. Climbed in 2 pitches. Abbed off tat on tree to left (looking out) down a mucky gully to escape well-timed rain | βeta? | |
