Rockfax Description
22m. The central fissure is a bit of a 'climb-me' line, though the current state of the raven's nest means it is best avoided in the spring. Easy climbing leads to the narrows where the expected tussle ensues to reach the big break. Accessing the hanging bell-shaped crack is the final obstacle, awkward and scary moves finally reach easier ground. © Rockfax
