Rockfax Description
A sport route on the left of the main buttress in 4 pitches. After the route was bolted there was some talk of stripping it due to it being an equipped line on an established crag. As of 2022 the bolts were still there. The first pitch is a little over 50m, all others are about 50m. Abseil descent on 2x60m ropes. © Rockfax

βeta: We used this as an abseil today. A few things to note. Top requires a sketchy downclimb or 40m abseil off small tree (tat/maillon in place). Also note the bolts are not stainless and are starting to rust. The route also looks pretty run out (4-5 bolts per pitch) so you might want some gear for the lead! | βeta? | |

βeta: Regarding the comments on this route from the Rockfax, I suspect the bolts won\'t get chopped as it would be quite a lot of effort for someone. Also, I am not sure there is a local ethic of \'no bolts on established trad crags\', as there are quite a few exceptions to the rule in the guide book (one of which is a top50). | βeta? | |
