Rockfax Description
Interesting! This variation avoids the hard section of the regular route by some speleological lunacy. Climb towards the slot beneath the boulders then get squirming. Helmet, harness and runners will all impede your progress. © Rockfax

βeta: If you are going to climb this, solo it. The \'crux\' is wiggling through a tunnel, which you will be lucky to get inside and is impossible to fall out of! Not wearing a harness will make it much easier.
