Rockfax Description
The long line of slim corners, cracks and grooves to the left of The Shield is a great line and the tough section is reasonably well protected. Start at a broken recess below a short corner-crack. Climb the recess and crack until below the overhangs. Move right and pull up steeply left over the overhang to an easing on the left. Continue up the wall, cracks and grooves above to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: August 2025 - ab station is a bit… suspect. However if you are doing multiple routes on the left crag there are two good large wires about 5/10m to the right which can be equalised to make a nice ab direct down the shield which pulls easily

βeta: NOTE: ab station above Grand Prix - the chockstone that the 3 bits of tat were around was moving as I weighted the ab. Thankfully we had a friend in to back it up. After I abbed the chock crumbled and all that was left is about an inch square. My partner watched it crumble under load as i abbed. There is an in situ wire tied off to it. However, unless, like we did, you add your own gear to back it up and retrieve this later by leading across from the other ab station, you're currently looking at abbing on one wire! The ab station further right above Boy Racer is solid and we replaced the rope on it a few weeks ago.

βeta: The abseil tat is badly worn round the thread. We added 5mm tat to back it up but could do with some new static.
