Rockfax Description
A classic. Three contrasting pitches give a wonderful tour of the crag. Start below a left-facing slim corner.
1) 4c, 18m. Climb the slim corner to a ledge.
2) 4c, 26m. Move out rightwards to below the diagonal break and follow it past a corner/groove to a ledge and belay.
3) 5a, 23m. Move back left and then gain the right rib of the long corner/groove. Climb up rightwards past an overlap, then slightly leftwards across a corner to easier ground that gains the top. © Rockfax

βeta: Pitch 3 has some route finding challenges. After the crux the chalked up horizontal hand traverse leads to a dirty and desperate corner. Wish I’d avoided this and climbed straight up from the horizontal crack. | βeta? | |

βeta: Lead p1 & 3. Pitch 3 is amazing, exposed, quite thin, just enough gear, tricky to route find, but all in balance. Awesome! | βeta? | |

βeta: Bold reputation of p.3 is undeserved - plentiful gear - mostly bomber medium nuts. | βeta? | |
