Rockfax Description
A tough little expedition - the easiest way to the summit, but not that easy and best done in two short pitches to avoid a rope-work nightmare.
1) 4c, 6m. Follow Croton Oil then move right to a crack,which leads to ledges behind the tower.
2) 4c, 14m. From the right end of these, hand traverse the break strenuously out right to the rickety flake to finish. © Rockfax

βeta: realitively hard for vs but the move isn't too hard if you commit rather than pump yourself out as i did the first time i tried this a few months back. went back yesterday and it felt fine, though not much easier than croton oil. rope drag is an issue. 2(or3?) pitches for sure. lovely route. enjoy. | βeta? | |

βeta: Great fun - a bit of a laugh battling your way up the start to find that you are still only three feet off the ground! | βeta? | |
